In the hours following 9-11, the people of Tehran laid a veritable "Wall of Flowers" and held candlelight vigils at the old US embassy building. They wept openly at what SAUDI terrorists had done.
Bush repaid the gesture by declaring Iran an "Axis of Evil".

The "Hollywood dramatization" and filming of the event could have done for the purpose of training for future missions of the same type. What was done in the gulf wasn't exactly routine and as much as the U.S. military has kept an eye on the place and with as much similar civilian surveillance activity there; any similar action by the Iranian navy as claimed by Fars would have been well documented by others besides Iran by now.
America will, of course score as many points as it can but at the end of the day what really counts is that those fishermen will now be able to enjoy their families (and hopefully not be sequestered by the Iranian authorities for an indefinite period of time before quietly disappearing).
["Iran's navy has rescued various foreign ships from the hands of pirates ... but never publicized that," it said.] ------------------------------------ well then ... take this as a lesson in the game of 'hearts and minds' ... and make sure you take a lot of aerial photos next time.
While somewhat dramatized, this rescure is an authentic instance of a natural human response to seeing other human beings in distress. Likely enough the Iranians would have responded likewise has the situation been reversed.
This random incident may well have poked a small hole through the thick cold sheet of war rhetoric. Here is an opportunity to reestablish mutual dialogue that may act to pull both nations back from the brink.
In any event, this rescue portrays America at its best. Well done, U.S. Navy. People of goodwill salute you.
To the hard line New World Order supporters, if people demonstrate in other countries, they are "seeking human rights". When they demonstrate in the U.S., they're "worthless freeloaders who only want others to pamper them".
The U.S. always "faces a threat of 'terrorists' infiltrating through illegal alien border crossing", but, if an American crosses another nation's borders, it's "by accident and only with innocent purpose".
The West, possessor of one of the largest nuclear arsenals in the world, has the right unilaterally, claiming "the entire world agrees with them", to cut off economic influx to Iran because Iran purportedly is trying to develop their own nuclear arms to keep from being a slave to craven Western powers who do, but, if Iran threatens to cut off oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz they, "have no right to decide other peoples' access to oil".
When a bomb explodes outside a U.S. embassy, it's "the act of a coward trying to destroy legitimate government", but, when car bombs recently exploded in Damascus, hard line New World Order quislings insisted they were "a show to convince the Arab League they were also targeted by 'terrorists'".
When the car bombs supposedly were cleared away before a full investigation could be made, it was declared by NWO shills "proof the bombs were deliberately set by Syria", but try to find NWO quislings who voice suspicion about the rubble of the World Trade Center being removed without an investigation into what really caused the collapse, or even about the town of Stamford, Connecticut razing Madonna Badger's house before a forensic examination could prove she burned it down herself for personal gain.
If Iranians rescued Americans held by pirates, NWO shills would call it a "publicity stunt", but they declare it a "definitive act of American good will" when Somali pirates, all in the pay of the CIA to monitor and control the area shipping surreptitiously, are forced to return Iranian sailors Obama ordered kidnapped.

'Sour Grapes'- so typical of Fars...
Bush repaid the gesture by declaring Iran an "Axis of Evil".
BEAUTIFUL!
This is great news, I can only hope this is the first step to find common peaceful ground with Iran. We need to calm things not create more wars.

Routine event? Maybe for the US Navy.
Someone better call Sinbad and let him know his lost ship is coming back, courtesy of the US Navy.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I see duplicity everywhere.
And like the fact that our 10% of the world's population consumes 50% of the food and power, we also produce 50% of the world's duplicity.
Good Job US Navy!!!!!
