Wild moment Iranian drones swarm US warship with 4,000 troops at dock

New footage has been released revealing dozens of Iranian drones and speedboats swarming several US Navy ships near the Persian Gulf.

Footage showed the Iran navy sent small vessels to confront the USS Bataan and the USS Carter Hall in the fraught Strait of Hormuz.

Armed soldiers controlled the speed boats from Iran's Islamic revolutionary guard corps and came within inches of the ships, while drones also taunted the boats and managed to snap pictures right above them.

The standoff comes just weeks after the US warned vessels to avoid the Persian Gulf following a threat Iran made about seizing oil tankers in the region.

The footage, taken from several drones and speed boats, also showed Iranian soldiers speaking a mix of Farsi.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Sounds like the captains of these warships have been told to "shut up and put up with it".

Otherwise, why weren't these "swarms" used for target practice ??
