I suppose the Iranian government doesn’t have much to celebrate if they’re considering building a statue of the captured US sailors[1] who were held for no reason for 16 hours. This wasn’t a monumental or purposeful capture, and it will be an equally pointless statue.

[2]‘There are very many photographs of the major incident of arresting US Marines in the Persian Gulf in the media and we intend to build a symbol out of them inside one of our naval monuments,’ he told Iran’s Defense Press news agency.

What’s sad is that Iran considers this a naval monument. I thought monuments were to symbolize an actual accomplishment or something important? Building a statue of this as a tourist attraction is extremely pointless.
