[Computer selected and disseminated without OSE editorial
intervention] Tehran, Jan 13, IRNA - Chief of Staff of the Armed
Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi said what happened to
American sailors on Tuesday proved how vulnerable the US is in front
of powerful Iranian forces.
Were it not for the good intentions of the Iranian commanders, he
said, the US was facing yet another crisis now.
The incident showed the vigilance of the Iranian armed forces, the
commander noted.
Iran released ten US marines it was holding for crossing into
Iranian
territorial waters.
IRGC Public Relations Department, in a statement, said that the US
navy boats were stopped Tuesday at 4:30 PM (local time) when they
entered Iranian territorial waters near Farsi Island in the middle
of
the Persian Gulf.
IRGC declared that the US navy boats entered Iranian territorial
waters illegally.
The US boats lost contact with their central commanding units due to
technical problems but were rescued by Iranian forces.
