US Navy ‘disgusted’ by Iran’s exploitation of sailors’ detention

(CNSNews.com) – A spokesman for the U.S. Navy's Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet said Thursday it was "disgusted by the exploitation of our sailors in Iranian propaganda," after the regime's state television released images of a U.S. Navy sailor apparently in tears after he and nine others were detained overnight in the Persian Gulf last month.
"As Secretary [of State John] Kerry has said, we are disgusted by the exploitation of our sailors in Iranian propaganda," said Cmdr. Kevin Stephens in response to queries about the footage. "It's outrageous and unacceptable that our sailors were held at gunpoint and detained."
