The Iranians can really blow the nuclear deal with this stupid stunt.
which is likely the aim of the people responsible for it.
civilian control of a country's armed forces wasn't brought to earth 2000 years ago by Jesus. its not the rule for every country. there are competing power structures within the Iranian government. very powerful Iranian elites (many within the Rev. Guard) are among those
most opposed to an Iranain-US rapprochement. the bedrock of their ideology since 1979 has been anti-Americanism.
i wouldn't be surprised if the 2 people most incensed by this are the President and Foreign Minister of Iran. they're trying to drag a large section of their country's government kicking and screaming towards a less hostile relationship with the US and normalized engagement with the world. this is likely the "kicking" part.
no, Obama shouldn't scrap his plan for advancing American interests in the Middle East for the next 5, 10, 50 years over a single ship from the Marshal Islands.
