Editor’s Note: This particular story was popular at the time it originally made the news and is circulating again a second time for the important and applicable message that’s relevant today.
Remember the Iran nuclear deal? The one President Obama pushed through and was touted as one of the biggest achievements of his presidency? Obama guaranteed it would keep Iran from developing a nuclear weapon for 10 years. Let’s see how that’s working out.
Luckily we have President Trump now unlike Obama where every strike had to be approved by Obama…Trump trusts the military enough to let them decide when a military strike is to be allowed. “Trump authorizes”-and that is what a leader does. He hires people good at what they do and authorizes them to do it. Refreshing.
President Trump shows to the world that laying with us is like playing with fire.
Iran in the post- Obama era is our biggest enemy and is using our money given to them by the Dems to arm themself even more.
A U.S. Navy ship fired multiple warning shots at an Iranian vessel in the Persian Gulf that came within 150 yards of the American ship, the Navy confirmed.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval vessel was approaching the USS Thunderbolt at a high rate of speed and ignored warnings from the U.S. ship that included voice communications and sound signals.
“The Iranian vessel did not respond to repeated attempts to establish radio communications as it approached,” U.S. Naval Forces Central Command said in a statement. “Thunderbolt then fired warning flares and sounded the internationally recognized danger signal of five short blasts on the ship’s whistle, but the Iranian vessel continued inbound.”
It wasn’t until the warning shots were fired that the Iranian craft halted its approach, the Navy said.
The incident, which occurred around 3 p.m. local time, was deemed “an unsafe and unprofessional interaction.”
The USS Thunderbolt, a Navy patrol craft, was conducting a coalition exercise in the international waters when the Iranian vessel approached, according to the Navy.
The Navy characterized the Iranian boat’s actions as not following internationally recognized “rules of the road … creating a risk of collision.”
The Iranian ship then ceased its provocative actions but lingered in the area for some hours, one of the officials said. There were several US Navy ships in the immediate vicinity at the time of the incident conducting routine patrol operations in international waters, according to the defense officials.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is claiming that it “foiled the US warship’s provocative move against an Iranian Navy patrol boat in the Persian Gulf,” according to a statement published by Iran’s official news agency IRNA.
It’ll only take one wrong maneuver, and the real stuff will be delivered. Iran has been at it from the very beginning, even though they know that The we can be very aggressive when the situation doesn’t favor us. (video below)

Before they wish to advance into the depth of confrontation, they should learn from previous lessons, Iraq, Libya, and now The Syrians are all in their most troubling times ever.

They are doing this to bring up the price of oil. I don’t think Trump will mind if we blast them into oblivion, and the reactionary ninnies in the financial sector drive the price back up to normal.
There.. fixed it
Nothing will drive the price to “normal” right now. Nothing. Our use of oil has dropped drastically as our economy has rapidly slowed for the CCP attack.
It will come back, but we are going to have to wind the economy back up first.
