By capturing American sailors this week, Iran demonstrated its contempt and disrespect for the United States
Iran has taken every opportunity to stick it to the Americans over the past few months. This week, when American naval vessels mistakenly drifted into Iranian waters after suffering mechanical problems, Iran went even further.
Forcing the Americans to surrender and kneel like prisoners, the Iranians violated the Geneva Conventions by filming and distributing for propaganda purposes, footage of the US troops.
Watch the video and see how Iran purposely manipulated the incident in order to humiliate the US.
Sign the Petition to Stop a Nuclear Iran
The US Congress must ensure that sanctions against Iran remain in force until the nuclear threat is completely eliminated.
I strongly oppose easing sanctions before the nuclear threat from Iran has been eliminated. Allowing Iran to enrich uranium without being subject to 'anytime, anywhere' inspections is extremely dangerous and unacceptable. Iran's nuclear program must be stopped.
