In advance of tonight's State of the Union address, we'll share this one from the 2010 speech. Former NBA star Alonzo Mourning gives an interview after the speech, and fortunately everyone brought their soapboxes. -R. #sotu #5dmarkii #politics #washingtondc

Barack #Obama se prepara para el último discurso sobre el #StateOfTheUnion, en el que dará un balance sobre su mandato desde 2009 y en el tocará temas trascendentales como la #inmigración, el control de #armas y el salario mínimo.

Nearly 3 million deportations during your time in office isn't our idea of a "good time," Barack Obama. We'll be watching.

Ready for President Obama's final #sotu address.

by Monét Davis via Instagram 1/12/2016 11:23:08 PM

#Iranian military forces seized two U.S. Navy boats Tuesday and are detaining them on #Iran's Farsi Island in the #Persian Gulf, senior U.S. officials told NBC News.

The 10 American sailors were on a training mission around noon ET when one of the #boats may have experienced mechanical failure and drifted into #Iranian-claimed waters, officials said. #Iran's coast guard took them into custody.

The officials said it's unclear whether the sailors — nine men and one woman — aboard the two small riverine vessels had strayed into #Iranian territorial waters before they were captured. "At this point, we're still monitoring the situation and it's not entirely clear what happened," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on MSNBC, adding that #Iranian authorities confirmed that the #sailors are safe.

Earnest said there remained no exact time frame for when the sailors would be let go, but didn't expect a long delay.

Following reports of the incident, Secretary of State John Kerry spoke with Iranian officials in #Tehran by phone, attempting to secure the sailors' release.

One senior official told NBC News the #Iranians understand it was a mistake and have agreed to release the #Americans in international waters within hours.

The Persian Gulf has been a flash point in the Middle East, and the incident comes on the same day President Barack #Obama is set to give his annual #StateoftheUnion address.
