Iran Releases 10 U.S. Sailors Who Entered Iranian Waters
--------------------------------------------------------

Iran has released two U.S. Navy patrol boats carrying 10 crew members
hours after detaining them for entering Iranian waters. The Obama
administration says the boats drifted after experiencing mechanical
problems. The detention came just days before a landmark nuclear deal
between Iran, the U.S. and other world powers is set to be implemented.
