The Ayatollah regime is doing all it can to gain a propaganda advantage from the incident in which the Revolutionary Guard took hold of two American Navy patrol boats that accidently drifted into Iranian waters in January.
Previously published photos show American sailors with their hands raised while kneeling on their boat's deck, surrendering to the Iranian forces.

A short while after the photos were published, Iranian state TV showed a video of the captive force's commander speaking. He apologized for entering Iran's territorial waters, and thanked the Iranians for "your hospitality and your assistance."
Iran's supreme leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei met with the Revolutionary Guard officers in charge of capturing the American vessels, congratulating them for their actions.
