The commander of 10 American sailors who were detained after entering
Iran’s territorial waters has been fired after the United States navy said
it had lost confidence in him.

Commander Eric Rasch was the executive commander of a squadron that
included the personnel who were briefly held after January’s incident,
which embarrassed President Barack Obama’s administration at a time when
it was in the process of implementing a deal over Iran’s nuclear
programme.

An internal inquiry concluded that his poor leadership contributed to the >incident that saw two armed navy vessels, known as riverine command boats, >straying into Iranian waters while sailing from Kuwait to Bahrain, the

I'm not convinced they "strayed" .....

Timing was just WAY too convenient.

And how would OUR military react if they found a couple
boatloads of N.Korean soldiers on a beach near a military
base ? Damned straight they'd be on their knees with
their hands on their heads ... and we'd take pictures too.
