OPINION:
The agreement between Iran and the United States was supposed to improve relations between the two countries. But the capture of 10 U.S. sailors, and the dissemination by Iran of disturbing photos and videos of these military members kneeling on their knees with their hands on their heads at gunpoint, with one of them likely forced to apologize (a possible violation of international law) was clearly done to humiliate the United States, and shows that talks of improved relations is premature. Disappointingly it seems to be business as usual in Iran.
Furthermore, it is shameful that President Obama, in his last State of the Union address, didn’t even mention this incident. How can we trust Iran after they have humiliated us like this? Mr. Obama is weak and has no spine.
