J.E.DYER: IT’S IRAN’S FAULT FOR SEIZING US SAILORS OFF OF FARSI ISLAND, IT VIOLATED MARITIME LAW……..

And how the US reacted to it was completely Obama’s fault.

Let’s be very clear about this.  You are being led to believe that “the story” about this incident is that the U.S. Navy screwed up.  Its boat crews were ill-prepared for the transit on 12 January 2016, during which armed Iranian forces seized the boats, raised the Iranian flag on them, and put the American sailors in detention.  The task force commander in charge of the boats exercised poor judgment in authorizing the transit.  Blah blah blah; nine people are being “disciplined.”  The Navy is taking a fall on its sword for the public’s benefit.

But without excusing the Navy (and without assuming we’ve been told everything relevant either), it is easily possible to establish that you are being misled about this whole thing.

All it takes is acknowledging the fact that Iran violated international maritime law, by seizing the Navy riverine boats and detaining the crews.

That means this is all Iran’s fault.  It’s only because of what Iran did that this became an “incident” to begin with.
