Iranian Officials: Capture of Sailors a Display of Power over U.S.
(Daily Caller) Russ Read - Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi and Chairman of Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi used Iranian media Thursday to commend the recent capture and release of ten U.S. sailors and their two riverine boats. "This is a sign of our might," Araqchi said Wednesday to Iran's Fars News. Boroujerdi wrote to Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, the commander of the forces who apprehended the sailors, calling his move "brave." He also noted that the apprehension is a sign that Iran controls the security of the Persian Gulf.
