There's no need to wait for any facts, or even read the article.

It looks like the sailors are to be released. No iranian hostage crisis 2016 so far.

Earlier, the naval commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, General Ali Fadavi, said he was satisfied a mechanical failure was behind the incursion.
"We have concluded that passage of Americans in our territorial waters was not a hostile passage or for espionage or similar acts," he told Iranian television.

Well, we let the North Koreans keep the Pueblo all these years. These riverine boats probably aren't as valuable.

According to NBC the boats have also been returned.

The U.S. Navy confirmed that the sailors had been "safely returned" after departing Iran's Farsi Island at 3:43 a.m. ET aboard the riverine vessels they had been operating when the incident occurred.

They were later transferred ashore by Navy aircraft while other sailors took charge of their boats and continued on for Bahrain, the Navy added in a statement.
