SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq – Iran state TV confirmed Saturday that it has detained three Americans who crossed the border from northern Iraq, saying they failed to heed warnings from Iranian guards.

Kurdish officials from northern Iraq said the three — two men and a woman — were tourists who had mistakenly crossed into Iranian territory Friday while hiking in a mountainous area near the resort town of Ahmed Awaa.

"The Iranians said they have arrested them because they entered their land without legal permission," said Qubad Talabani, the Kurdish regional government's envoy to Washington.

First North Korea, now Iran. Seriously, what the fuck are these people thinking?!? Hiking the mountains on the border between Iran and Iraq? For fuck's sake, did they think that Ahmadinefuck and his goons would just let them take a stroll on their mountains? If I wanted to go hiking the last place I would think of going would be the border between a war-torn country and one that's ruled by a fanatic camel jockey dictator who particularly despises Americans. For their sheer level of stupidity they probably deserved to be arrested.
