The MEK was running amok engaging in "terrorist" activities.
Iran was fully repressed.

Admittedly, I have not followed this incident closely.
Has Iran sent the bill yet for the mechanical work that they must have done to the two boats? If the boats broke down and drifted into Iranian waters where the sailors were captured. And if the sailors were released and left on those same two boats, repairs must have been done.
It would be like us re-enacting killing British soldiers on the 4th of July. It's just tasteless. then again, we expect nothing more from ISIS/hezbolla/hamas like minded terrorist backers. They're all cut from the same filthy cloth.

Sorry but I took it differently, more repressed in what fashion?
