The crew of two small Navy craft are being held by Iran, but American officials have received assurances from Tehran that the crew and vessels will be returned safely and promptly.

Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook told The Associated Press that the boats were moving between Kuwait and Bahrain when the U.S. lost contact with them.

"We have been in contact with Iran and have received assurances that the crew and the vessels will be returned promptly," Cook said.

This sounds like a non-story. U.S. boat breaks down, drifts into Iranian water - Iran picks them up takes them to shore, asks them why they're there - and they've all been released.

If an Iranian boat drifts into US waters tell me how it's any different...

No mention of terrorist activities in the SOTU, all free today. Coinkydink???

This. If anything, it shows the humanity displayed by Iran.

No. It shows that if they want a nuke, they will just have one FedExed from North Korea.

Obama isn't sitting still. He is writing checks worth billions of dollars.
