The American press spoke about the rescue of the US Navy of Iranian sailors in the Gulf of Oman

The multinational coalition United Maritime Forces, based in Bahrain, received a distress signal from Iranian sailors in a small open boat in the Gulf of Oman. The signal was received, including by the US Navy ship. The Americans, in their own words, saved the Iranians by providing them with food, water and medical care.

The rescued sailors were taken to the Omani Coast Guard ship, located in the area of ​​the capital of the country - Muscat. On the American ship, both sailors are said to have rested and were in good spirits. As professional sailors, Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of the Combined Maritime Forces of the US Naval Central Command emphasized, the US Navy is directly responsible for helping people in difficult or critical situations at sea.

Interestingly, the rescue of the Iranian sailors came amid continuing tensions between Iran on the one hand, and the United States, Israel, and the Arab oil monarchies on the other. Therefore, the American press now benefits from promotion stories with the rescue of Iranian sailors, as it slightly raises the image of the United States and the American military in the eyes of the Muslim population of the region. The United States is interested in softening the level of negativity that people in the Middle East today associate with Washington's policy in Southwest Asia.

In addition, the story of the rescue of sailors may be another media argument in favor of maintaining the US naval presence off the coast of the Arabian Peninsula. After all, logically, if the American sailors had not been near the Iranians in distress, no one would have saved the unfortunate. Therefore, the American presence is viewed as a certain insurance against similar accidents, and from Somali piracy, and from various other incidents at sea.

I agree that PR was invented by the Americans. But, they are obliged to make a report to the authorities.

As Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of the Combined Maritime Forces of the United States Naval Central Command, has emphasized, as professional sailors, the US Navy is directly responsible for helping people in difficult or critical situations at sea.

I will say more, rescuing people at sea is a duty:
According to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, the captain of a ship at sea, having received a distress message from any source, is obliged to follow at full speed to help people in distress.
It also applies to warships.
Failure to provide assistance to people in distress is subject to criminal penalties. There is no reward for saving lost people.

[Grandfather]

the sea has its own laws. today you didn’t save, tomorrow you won’t be saved, I think the Iranians would have saved too, at least someone. There’s politics on the side.

[Shurik70]

And from where did the Iranians end up in the middle of the bay "in a small open boat"?
Not a word about it.
Perhaps their ship "suddenly" sank, and they escaped by boat.
Didn't the Americans themselves "organize" this case? In this case, it is clear how they got there first. Although such a subtle intrigue is not in their custom, but should they someday learn?

This is normal, it is worthy ... THIS IS THE NORM!

[NDR-791]

Interestingly, the rescue of Iranian sailors took place against the backdrop of ongoing tensions ... the American press now benefits from promoting the story of the rescue of Iranian sailors, as it slightly raises the image of the United States
This is where the question comes in. "Was there a boy?" Cheerful rested Iranian sailors who appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the sea, in a boat with communication equipment ... Well, well ...

[tralflot1832]

They saved it, that's good. And what is the further fate of the Iranian fishermen? Omman sent them to Iran or Israel. Two options.

Several years ago, Iranian sailors detained the Americans and brought them to their knees. Apparently the amers did not succeed and decided to at least catch the HYIP.

[Roman1970_1]

Why are they to Israel?

[tralflot1832]

The work in Iran was completed, and we went to Tel Aviv for a pay. Someone kills nuclear scientists in Iran, blows up objects. This is an option.

"A US Navy vessel on Saturday rescued two Iranian sailors from a fishing vessel after it drifted for eight days in the Gulf of Oman ... the Navy freighter Charles Drew arrived on the scene with food, water and medical assistance six hours after the sailors sent a distress signal. "- said the US Navy Central Command (NAVCENT).
And what were the sailors "doing" for a week?

[Two]

One of the many means of obtaining information for the IRGC.

[tralflot1832]

Or maybe for the Mossad. In Iran, the entrance yard for them.

[Two]

Maybe for them. But there is such a traffic density of ships that they had to be carefully camouflaged so as not to be picked up. Or this is propaganda of striped ...

Yes booze, here a cruiser / destroyer floats up to choose from ... no torpedoes, no weapons either

Five times prayer. There was no time to send SOS

[tralflot1832]

WHAT THE SEAFARERS HAVE DONE FOR A WEEK? They waved their hands to passing ships, like save them. We also rescued such ships once in the Peruvian zone. We pass by, they will wave their hands to us, like hello. It's good that the fish was caught, we didn’t leave the area. On the fifth - for the sixth day we pass by, do not wave, do not stray, came up. And they are there, side by side, barely breathing from thirst. There is no solar oil, there is no counterfeit, there are no matches or lighters either. We didn’t have enough mind to wave a rag. Saved it’s called. But how do we use them later on their Laibe home was sent to the shore, it was a circus, they did not even want to leave with supplies. Until they tied to our transport going to their port, this was the only way to get rid of them.

Surely they also treated them to alcoholic beverages. ...
An Iranian who does not drink alcohol outside Iran is nonsense ..

Even in war there are always people who remain them .... I understand that now there will be +100 to the karma of the United States .... but wars are started by states and rhodschilds ... and ordinary people are fighting. Therefore, I hate this .... from the ilono gai, who was proud all his life that he dropped a nuclear bomb on tens of thousands of people .... Do you understand ??? He was proud of it !!! Hope he has the biggest frying pan in hell

[Free wind]

Have an atomic bomb during the war. I would have wiped Berlin off the face of the earth, and did not even suffer pangs of conscience after that ..

[Split]

Well, not suffering is one thing ... but would you be proud of that? It's one thing in Berlin ... the area was fortified there worse than anyone else ... at that time there was a group of hundreds of thousands of troops ... and then throw it off. They gave you a rgd-5 grenade for example .... the nearest playground .... the kids play there ... would you throw it? Even if there were no questions or investigations? But he threw it and was also proud ... an indigestible pun

[Free wind]

And on the site there is a little Hitler and chikatilo, how do you like that.

[Dkuznecov]

Berlin has nothing to do with it.
Read the remark.

did not take offense at his own people.

Therefore, the American presence is seen as some kind of insurance ...

Many people know how this "insurance" can end, incl. and in this region. And the rescue of sailors in distress is the sacred duty of a sailor of any country.

[Mikhail3]

I thought this was the story when the Americans tried to steal an Iranian tanker by throwing the crew off of it. And then look how ... I involuntarily recall that during the Second World War, at first, the maritime traditions of unconditional rescue of the survivors were respected by all sides ... until the brave American pilots began to shoot the German sailors who were in the water.
And now the Americans have a reason to be proud! They held back! They did not kill the Iranians as they used to! An unprecedented business! The rest of the nations and nationalities simply save everyone who submits the SOS, and do not see anything unusual in this. Who is, from what country, what was he doing at sea ... first you need to save people, deliver them to the shore. And then how will it come out.
But this is not for the light elves, of course. For them, what was not killed and left to die is already something incredible. Ugh, as if I bathed in shit ...
