I like this story. It shows that even though the U.S. and Iran are at each others throats, they will still come to one another's help in a emergency situation. I think maritime law states you must answer a SOS call if your around the area, but I'm not to sure. It's still a nice thing to do for the civilian Iranian fishing boat. This is a little good news considering all the bad news thats been going around . Maybe this will ease tensions a bit somehow, but I likely doubt it. After all the U.S. Navy helped a civilian fishing boat, It's not like the Navy answered a SOS call from Iranian navy ship
