Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Iran on Saturday welcomed the rescue of 13 Iranian sailors by a U.S. Navy ship, calling it a "humanitarian act."

The rescue managed to get Iran to say something good about the US - that's impressive.

If an Iranian ship had picked up American sailors... How long would they have spent in the gulag as "foreign saboteurs"?

Likely months.

Edit: or even years.

That depends on what image the regime in Iran wants to create. They might be treated like kings, or they might be thrown into a hole.

If Iran attempted to go to war, it would first have to fight its own people, and things like this help re-enforce that.
