Phew! It was looking a little dicey there, for a while, but John Kerry is now free to celebrate #BigBlockOfCheeseDay unencumbered by pesky diplomatic responsibilities:
Peaceful and efficient resolution of this issue is a testament to the critical role diplomacy plays in keeping our country secure & strong.

A big block of fail.
At what point did @JohnKerry and his #Iranian pal decide it would be a swell idea to blindfold US sailors? https://t.co/tBdfV6B1HU

Certainly positive for Iranian regime at home. https://t.co/w3ceo6dhRi
