Voice of America quotes Brent Scowcroft Center Nonresident Senior Fellow Matthew Kroenig on Iran’s detention of two US Navy Boats:
Farsi Island is home to an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps naval base, which may be why the sailors were quickly detained, Matthew Kroenig, a senior fellow in The Atlantic Council’s Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security, told VOA Tuesday.
“Most countries would do the same thing if foreign sailors came that close to a naval base,” Kroenig explained.
