@aarondmiller2 @cehoskinson Even if boats entered Iran territorial waters?

@gracels @aarondmiller2 If they were in distress they are supposed to be aided, not captured.

@cehoskinson @aarondmiller2 What if they landed on island in Iran territorial waters? No right to detain?

@gracels @aarondmiller2 Not if they are in distress. Iran has an obligation under international law to render aid and allow safe passage.

@cehoskinson @aarondmiller2 Does international law of sea apply to territorial waters?

@gracels @aarondmiller2 Yes. Foreign ships have a right of "innocent passage."

.@aarondmiller2 @NickKristof do you know the facts of the situation?

@scottroth76 @aarondmiller2 @NickKristof if they were so hostile why weren't their ships in our waters?

@TerrinaMajnoona @aarondmiller2 @NickKristof stop making imperial apologists look stupid...
