Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has given medals to the naval commanders who captured US sailors earlier this month.
Khamenei presented Fath [Victory] Medals to the four commanders, as well as to the head of the Revolutionary Guards' navy. During the ceremony, he emphasized that the Islamic Republic should be cautious when dealing with the US, despite last year's nuclear agreement.
The ten US sailors were released the day after they were detained, though tensions sharply rose between the two countries during that single day.
