Nanker Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 BREAKING: Four Iranian boats harass U.S. destroyer in the Strait of Hormuz http://washex.am/2bhkgqY Quick Mr. President.................get out the checkbook again. . Perhaps it's time for another red line... in the water this time. Don't forget, once we signed that nuclear deal, they're gonna love us. They're really, really gonna love us. B.O. said so.

GG Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Apparently firing flares earlier in the week didn't send a strong enough message. Good thing we've normalized relations with a non-threatening regime. Interesting use of the term "improving relations" A U.S. Navy ship fired warning shots toward an Iranian fast-attack craft that approached two U.S. ships, a Pentagon spokesman said on Thursday, in the most serious of a number of incidents in the Gulf area this week. "They did feel compelled ultimately to fire three warning shots and the reason for that is... they had taken steps already to try and de-escalate this situation," spokesman Peter Cook told reporters. Tensions have increased in the Gulf in recent days despite an improvement in relations between Iran and the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing we've normalized relations with a non-threatening regime. Interesting use of the term "improving relations" You have to wonder how it feels to be in one of those tiny boats and have a warning shot fired at you. Not sure I'd want to be approaching a full-sized warship in one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Navy was being ignored by Iran until we cut the nuke deal with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
