Sen. John McCain hammered the Obama administration Wednesday for praising Iran's "graciousness" after it released the 10 Navy sailors captured on Tuesday — accusing the White House of stopping "at nothing to preserve" the Iran nuclear deal.

Here's what the Arizona Republican and 2008 presidential candidate said on Twitter:




Secretary of State John Kerry lauded Tehran for ending the dispute "peacefully and efficiently."

The Navy soldiers, nine men and a woman, were captured Tuesday by member of Iran Revolutionary Guard after their two boats drifted into the Persian Gulf off Farsi Island.

Republicans bashed Tehran for the move — coming hours before President Barack Obama delivered his final State of the Union address — as an example of Iran exercising renewed aggression as the implementation of the nuclear deal nears.

Obama did not mention the incident in his address, though he praised his administration's work on the nuclear agreement.
