Iranian boats taunt US Warship in Gulf

They want war…give em war

WASHINGTON (Thomson Financial) – Iranian boats engaged in a “mild” and “taunting” confrontation with a US warship in the Gulf, CNN television reported Friday.

Late Thursday the three small Iranian boats approached the U.S.S. Typhoon, the report said.

“One of those Iranian boats coming within 200 yards of the navy boat,” CNN reported, “leading the crew onboard the ‘Typhoon’ to fire a warning flare.” “The Iranians were manning in a taunting manner,” CNN said citing an unnamed US official.

In January five Iranian speed boats approached three US Navy war ships in the same area, fuelling tension between the two countries.
