In the latest incident of high-seas tension between the U.S. and Iran, a Navy guided-missile destroyer fired a series of warning shots at four Iranian vessels after the Islamic Republic's boats closed in at a high rate of speed in the Strait of Hormuz, Fox News confirmed on Monday.

Yep, we sure got our money's worth from the Obama, Clinton, and Kerry negotiating team!

In 11 days they won't be firing warning shots... they'll be firing head shots.

If the Navy isn't going to shoot at them properly, then they should at least ram them like the what was done to the Sea Sheapard...

10 years ago we had a few instances with these gun boys trying to flex on us
It's gone on for some time. Warning shots are fired towards any vessel within 500 yards but they're (Iranian shite boats) never fired on despite getting much closer

Navy doesn't respond to Iranian boats = Obama is a pussy
Navy responds with warning shots = Obama can't negotiate

There are currently no U.S. aircraft carriers deployed in the Middle East after the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower returned to Norfolk and the USS George H. W. Bush had its deployment delayed.
There is, however, a U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship with helicopters, jets and more than 1,000 marines in the region.
Way to give out ships movements Fox News. Glad amphib is nearby tho.

You forgot, Obama sends Iran plane load of cash.
What does that make him?

Should follow protocol. Within 500 yards...warning shots fired. But it's never followed. Tower tells them on sound powered phones not to fire. But we went loaded fist anytime they did and that's not done lightly

In addition to the machine gun warning shots, a Navy helicopter dropped a smoke float.

The navy needs to check the zero on their scope. It must be off.
Trump should tweet to the Iranians to only send out sailors who are real good swimmers.

I would have to assume it would be to blind the Iranian boat. Our ship would still have eyes on with the helicopter and all that fancy tech.

Damn how did they get all the way to Houma?

quote:It's pretty rare. Because of the physical and political dynamics of the AG, we have a very flexible approach with Iran. We actually used to call them pressurizing vs. depressurizing days. In two deployments afloat and then two years at NAVENT, I recall us firing warning shots at IRGCN boats half a dozen times at most (and I'm trying to work up to that number, because I can remember only a few). They behave unprofessionally and aggressively by routine, and tend to have a lot more autonomy than the IRIN. We have lots of standoffish situations, but very rarely go beyond training weapons and shouting warnings.
