A US Navy Ship Just Fired At Iranian Boats-This Could Be It Folks
http://redstatewatcher.com/article.asp?id=56952
CNN reported: Iranian vessels approached a US Navy ship near the strait in
five separate instances at high rates of speed, the official said. The US
Navy ship fired warning shots once, the official said.
The incident is the latest tense encounter between the two countries in and
over waters near Iran over the months.
These brushes have included Iranian rocket launches, drones flying over US
vessels and the capture of US sailors.
They've come against the backdrop of renewed US diplomatic contacts with
Iran, which has triggered a political backlash among Iranian hardliners,
including Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The Strait of Hormuz, where the latest incident took place, is situated
between the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf.
In November, a US Navy Seahawk helicopter had what the Navy is calling an "
unsafe and unprofessional encounter" with an Iranian Revolutionary Guard
Corps patrol boat near the Strait of Hormuz.
The helicopter was flying overhead when the Iranians trained a weapon on it,
according to a defense official. The Iranians did not fire. The event took
place as the helicopter was escorting the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D.
Eisenhower on its way out of the Persian Gulf.
