We just saved some of Ahmadinejad's countrymen from pirates. http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/06/world/meast/iran-us-navy-rescue/index.html?hpt=hp_c1 Pretty funny, and embarrassing for them, considering their latest posturing about their great Iranian Naval capabilities and threats of closing down the Straits of Hormuz....
Hilarious. They had been at sea for about 40 days and did the Iranian Navy with all it's prowess, come and save them? VIDEO: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/8998484/US-Navy-rescues-Iranian-sailors-held-hostage-by-pirates.html LOL
I think this is a great exercise for the US Navy in demonstrating the capability of the US naval power. The Iranian navy already knows the lethality of the US Navy should it try to engage it head on with their capital ships, but this incident demonstrates the ability to pluck out individuals. Any Iranian naval commander will take notice should they get over ambitious.
