'The actual state of the union': Photos show Obama admin's partner in peace arresting US sailors; Update: Video added

Secretary of State John Kerry has thanked Iran for releasing ten U.S. sailors they had taken into custody:

#SecKerry on #Iran/sailors: "I want to express my gratitude to Iranian authorities for their cooperation in swiftly resolving this matter."

In Obama’s State of the Union address last night, the president highlighted a new era of relations between the U.S. and Iran. Judging from photographs released by Iran that have aired on Iranian television, this admin’s “deal partner” isn’t playing along:
