KEY FACTS

- Three armed speed boats operated by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps came within 68 yards of a U.S. Navy coastal patrol boat and a U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat operating in international waters of the Persian Gulf, the Navy said in a statement.

- U.S. personnel tried to hail the Iranian ships over the radio, but they did not respond, leading the Navy to fire warning shots that caused the ships to speed away.

- The Navy said the action violated the international maritime rules of the road, and “increased the risk of miscalculation and/or collision.”

Why do they still call themselves "Revolutionary" when their revolution was over 40 years ago?

We need to tell Iran one thing:

if you go after us or our allies, we well PANCAKE your cultural sites. Blow up all historically significant structures and places in Persia.

They will likely get reprimanded by the POS administration.

This is almost as perplexing as China's navy officially being titled the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN)

Poking the Bear. Iran simply won't learn, until they are mauled to death.

his first and only response will be to tell the navy to immediately surrender and ask how much cash it takes for us to be forgiven for being evil

Because they have a counter-terrorism squad that kicked the Navy Seals' arse in competition, that's why.
