  • On the eve of starting the implementation of lifting the sanctions on Iran and what the nuclear understanding has stated of Western commitments, the Americans marines tried to test the Iranian will of steadfastness and confrontation by penetrating the Iranian territorial waters by two military boats.
  • Washington betted on Iran’s need for gaining what it has presented of commitments to apply the understanding, and testing its silence of violating its sovereignty as long as it happened quietly and in the darkness.
  • Consequently, Iran has clung to the contents of the nuclear understanding and to the defense of its sovereignty, thus it detained the two boats and their crews.
  • Washington wanted to put Iran in an impasse but it has put itself instead.
  • Washington was obliged to the start sidelines negotiations in which it announced good intentions and apologizes for its penetrating the territorial waters
  • Iran expressed its readiness to release the crew and to keep the two boats till completing their checking and to examine the equipments and what can form a violation of military secrets that were photographed or processes of eavesdropping that were recorded.
