This strikes me as perhaps just a touch cheeky and optimistic.

President Barack Obama has said the US government has requested that Tehran return the surveillance drone captured by Iran’s military earlier this month.

BBC News – US asks Iran to return captured drone.

Now I can appreciate why the United States would like their spy plane back, what with all the top-secret anti-radar coatings and engines and the like. Not to mention whatever data it had picked up about Iranian nuclear installations and other interesting factoids. But do you think there is much chance? I suppose the Iranians could be a bit like the janitor when I was at primary school, and hold onto it for a day or two just to make a point then give it back.

No probably not.
