For the second time in less than a week — an American ship has rescued Iranian mariners in distress. The Pentagon says a Coast Guard cutter picked up six Iranians from a cargo boat in the northern Persian Gulf. One of the Iranian crew members had suffered burns after the boat had some kind of engine trouble. Last Thursday, a Navy ship rescued 13 Iranian fishermen from pirates holding them hostage aboard their ship.
