Medal for Iranians stopped US Navy

Five Iranian naval officers have received high awards because they had stopped recently two American patrol boats.

The boats of the US Navy were in mid-January by the Iranians seized in Iranian waters. Ten passengers were trapped on board. The incident came at a precarious moment: shortly before the appointments would take effect from the nuclear agreement between Iran and several world powers. After one day, the sky was cleared of Iran stated that the Americans had accidentally sailed into the territorial waters of the Islamic Republic.

Iran and the United States have greatly improved their relationship with the nuclear agreement and an end to sanctions against Iran as a result. But the religious authorities in Tehran remains very suspicious of the Americans.
