US: Sailors mistakenly entered Iranian waters before detention
The US defense secretary says that the US sailors briefly detained by Iran had entered into Iranian territorial waters by mistake.
“The information that they have given us, and through their commanders is that they did stray accidentally into Iranian waters due to a navigation error,” Ash Carter tells the Univision TV network.
“So that seems to be the original cause of this, according to the interviews that we have done.”
