#2 Navigational error and a mechanical malfunction? Or is the mechanical part of the story gone away? Or was the mechanical failure that of the GPS leading to a navigational error?

Wasn't the whole idea behind the 26 GPS satellites that the military would know the absolute position of anything at all times?

#3 AIS is one such system. Are we to believe absolutely no one was watching ?

#5 Yes, the small boats were allegedly returned without the faulty GPS and navigation systems. How thoughtful of the Iranians to dispose of the useless hardware.

#9 If it was a navigational error someone should be publicly dressed down for embarrassing the nation. If it wasn't a navigational error and they just want to blame the crew, such a move is also likely to break the truth free.

#10 The sailors in the picture seem more physically fit than average. Maybe there's more to the story...

#11 Once the 150 billion flows to the Iranian Mullahs, THEY will release the truth about stopping the vessel transit at gunpoint. Strong Horse display for all to see...
