(Worthy News) - A U.S. Navy destroyer fired three warning shots at armed Iranian patrol boats as they sped toward the American warship at the entrance to the Persian Gulf, marring a recent period of relatively quiet interactions between U.S. and Iranian forces, the Pentagon said Monday.

Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said a group of four fast-attack boats of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps navy had ignored multiple attempts by the crew of the USS Mahan to warn them away. The Mahan used an audible siren, flashing lights and a ship’s whistle to warn the Iranians, and managed to establish radio communication. The initial warnings were not heeded, prompting the decision to fire three warning shots with a .50-caliber machine gun, Davis said.

The Iranian boats then turned away. [ Source ]

Good for the captain of the USS Mahn. Iran wants to bait a cause for conflict or they were testing our resolve to defend in the strait being we have what we have as CiC still in office. I wonder if they'll make this type of challenge once Donald Trump takes his place?

Yes, to test his resolve.

Obama gave them 8 years and a lot of money, so they must feel a bit more daring.   Time will tell what Trump will do when this happens on their watch.  Perhaps a turn around and capture one of their ships that challenges them.

one would need to be instantly ready to fight a full war with them before we did that......

Funny, Sharia Law can sometimes prevent Islamic's from starting something so they push others to start it themselves.

So if we do that everyone must already be ready for all out war.   Both over there and here at home.

you haven't seen anything until the Muslim Brotherhood releases their demand that we not have violent Jihad here while they are carrying out thier civilization jihad....    which will pretty much end January 20th when Trump starts removing Muslim Brotherhood people from our government.

Well, that will serve to show us what kind of president he is when tested in such a way.

I hear about things like this and I reflect back on the USS Cole. tragedy. May we never suffer that again. God give strength to the Trump presidency.
