The ten U.S. sailors who were seized by Iranian gun boats when they drifted into Iranian territorial waters have been released without incident. It appears that one of the boats suffered from some type of mechanical failure, and negotiations for the sailors release were quickly accomplished. It helped that the Farsi Island location at which the boats were found drifting was neither a strategic location, nor a sensitive location for communications or other military activities.
A video has surfaced wherein one of the sailors appears to be apologizing for the accidental incursion, which could complicate things for the sailors.

hhhmmmmm if bad guys had “captured” me I would say whatever they said.
REALLY ? IF HE DID IT HE WAS WRONG UNLESS HE WAS ORDERED TO BY KERRY AND OBAMA ,
why is it two new boats of the USN had engine trouble at the same time and more to the point the guy that apologized looked a little too eager to do so , and they were there less than a day………..Obama and Clinton had something to do with that.
I think he was trying to save there lives Obama wouldn’t have
HOW CAN THEY WHEN THEY WERE JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS WE COULD NOT JUST GIVE THEM AMERICA SHIPS WITHOUT A BUNCH OF AMERICA FALLOUT.. .
Get real. The sailor was ordered to do what he did.
HE WAS ORDERED TO STAND DOWN! MUCH MORE TO THIS STORY!
How unfair.
Wtf
There is nothing wrong with apologizing for letting your big boat drift into another countries waters. If there is a policy against saying sorry then the problem lies within the policy not the apology. >:o
