Iran Border Guards detain seven US troops
"Recently seven American troops were detained by Iranian guards in a southeastern province of the country ... Two Iranians accompanying the troops were also arrested," said Fars.
No other news agency reported the incident.
Earlier, Iran had freed 32-year-old US national Sarah Shourd after holding her and fellow hikers Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal for more than a year.
All three were arrested on July 31, 2009 after straying into Iran from Iraq. The authorities had charged them with ‘spying and illegally entering the country.’
