Iran force-fed some humble pie

The US Navy rescued 13 Iranian fishermen whose boat was captured by pirates, and who were subsequently held hostage for over a month, according to news reports.

Which of course means that I must come up with a hypothetical conversation:

Iranian fishermen wives to the Grand Ayatollah: "Our husbands have been missing, please search for them!" 

Grand Ayatollah: "No.  We must hunt for infidels and threaten them!" 

Fishermen wives: "We are poor and we love our husbands.  Please search for them!" 

Grand Ayatollah: "No!  If they have done no wrong, Allah will save them!" 

USN to Grand Ayatollah: "We saved 13 Iranian fishermen."

Grand Ayatollah to USN: "Allah is great!  Now you infidels must leave our waters, or by Allah's hand we will strike you from this Earth!"

USN to Grand Ayatollah: "You're welcome?" 

No shortage of embarrassment, that the Iranian military insisted earlier this week that it would easily seal the Strait of Hormuz.  Pirates are laughing.  Heck, everyone's laughing.
