The right to interdict for sure - but interdiction must not become
interdicktion.
The whole "we demand an apology!" thing (for a "mech. breakdown?") is nothing but "look, mighty iran stronk, puny USA has to beg forgiveness!" which in the end, is a very weak testimony for Iran.
If they would have acted gallantly, the world would have tipped its head at them. But now, they only gave everyone an additional reason to shake their heads at them.
Still, can't wait for the official/true story - if we may ever hear it.
