U.S. Navy Ship Fires Warning Shots at Iranian Boat in the Persian Gulf
« on: July 25, 2017, 06:23:30 pm »
A U.S. Navy ship fires warning shots at an armed Iranian patrol boat in the Persian Gulf.

Defense officials confirmed the incident happened earlier Tuesday as the Iranian boat approached and came within 150 yards of the Navy ship.

They believe it was being operated by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The Iranians reportedly didn’t respond to any warnings including radio calls, the firing of flares, and warning sirens.

Officials say the Navy fired shots out of concern for a collision.

The incident came as several Navy ships in the area were conducting routine patrol operations.

US fires warning shots to stop Iran navy vessel in Gulf
Siraj Wahab | Published — Tuesday 25 July 2017

JEDDAH: A US Navy ship fired warning shots when an Iranian vessel in the Gulf came within 150 yards (137 meters) of it on Tuesday, in the first such incident since President Donald Trump took office, US officials said.

The last major incident was earlier in January, though a US vessel fired a flare in March when a US Navy ship was forced to change course after multiple fast-attack vessels from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) came too close.

In a statement to Reuters, US Naval Forces Central Command said the patrol craft, named USS Thunderbolt, fired the warning shots in front of the Iranian vessel after it ignored radio calls, flares and the ship’s whistle.

The Iranian vessel was from IRGC, the statement said, adding that it stopped its unsafe approach after the warning shots were fired.

Maybe the Iranians need a reminder that this sort of crap gets their airliners shot down?
