The restraint showed by us will be repaid with blood. Mark my words.

The IRGC has been doing this for years. It's pretty common and is to be expected when transitting the Strait.

Just can't get complacent because you never know when shite can happen.

So you're telling me that we have a US Navy Destroyer just miles off their waters and coast, but that they are "harassing" us with 4 little boats LOL yall need to open your eyes.

It's too bad the mom wearing jeans pussy we have as president has set a bad precedent with Iran

Obama's not gonna do shite. He's going to coast on his way out of office

All you have to do is shred 1 group of boats, 1 time, and then they won't send anymore.


Obama won't do anything about that.

As a former sailor I can tell you this happens all the time. In fact during the cold war, the Soviets would park "research" vessels off the coast of our major ports and try to collide with USN ships causing an incident.

Iran has been "harassing" the USN since the 80's. We have never sank their swiftboats.

You just see more of it in the news today because everything today is captured on video

Also, the USS Nitze was in international waters NOT Iranian territorial waters as recognized by the UN

quote: Still cant believe that bastard gave them that money. He was obligated to. Back before the Iranian revolution the government under the Shah paid lots of money for military equipment. When the revolution happened and the hostages were taken, Carter refused to deliver the equipment. Essentially, the US accepted money for the purchase and didn't deliver what the money was for. A committee was formed way back in the 1980's to deal with this, and it was only when Iran agreed to the nuclear treaty that the US released the funds. This wasn't some shady "bribe", the money was owed to Iran the entire time and is being repaid over 35 years late.

How heavy is all that water you're carrying? Why didn't earlier administrations pay it? Why are we being told the timing of the hostage release was dependent on the timing of this payment?

Quit being a frickboi

The only time the US has responded to Iranian provocations was when the USS Samuel Roberts struck a mine in the Persian Gulf.

We responded with Operation Praying Mantis (wiki)

Also, ever heard of Stuxnet?

Stuxnet specifically targets programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which allow the automation of electromechanical processes such as those used to control machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or centrifuges for separating nuclear material. Exploiting four zero-day flaws,[4] Stuxnet functions by targeting machines using the Microsoft Windows operating system and networks, then seeking out Siemens Step7 software. Stuxnet reportedly compromised Iranian PLCs, collecting information on industrial systems and causing the fast-spinning centrifuges to tear themselves apart.[5] Stuxnet’s design and architecture are not domain-specific and it could be tailored as a platform for attacking modern SCADA and PLC systems (e.g., in automobile or power plants), the majority of which reside in Europe, Japan and the US.[6] Stuxnet reportedly ruined almost one fifth of Iran's nuclear centrifuges.[7]

come on do it.......do it!!!!!!!!!!

Lol yeah Stuxnet is wild, I'm not exactly sure what the target was but if I had to guess it was probably the nuclear program.
