Dubai: A video footage has come to light of the moment 10 US Navy sailors were detained by Iran in the Persian Gulf on Tuesday.

All 10 detained sailors were released by Iran on Wednesday morning after being held overnight, quickly ending an incident that rattled nerves days ahead of the expected implementation of a landmark nuclear accord between Iran and world powers.

The video has been posted by a former director at the semi-official, state-sponsored Iranian news agency, Fars.
