I wonder if any of it is true.

A few harpoons and a couple MK48s and the chase would have ended with the Iranian Navy in the starting blocks.

Yes. I saw a rundown of Iran’s navy, which seems to be made up of small coastal patrol boats. Who knows if Teheran is even in charge of them all? Could be provincials running their own shakedowns.

What happened with the cargo ship they forced into port? I haven’t seen any further news on that.

Is how the headline should have read.

Sounds like plain old Muslim pirates/privateers.
From USA Today:
“Marzieh Afkham, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, told reporters the ship’s seizure followed a legal complaint by an Iranian private company, the AP reported.
She said ‘based on the information we have acquired, it is likely that the dispute will be settled within the next two days,’ the news agency said.”

U.S. military assets fled...WWRD? What would Reagan do?
You can bet it wouldn't have read like this headline.

U.S Warships Flee from Iranian Navy? That's what they said.
I bet the CIC ordered them to.

LOLLOL! The Iranian frigate was launched in 1971 by Britain, is obsolete, and is one-tenth the size of a Burke DDG. The accompanying P-3Cs routinely fly unarmed and do ISR daily. The US DDG could have made short work of the Iranian surface target. That said, I do not dismiss the mendacity of the current administration in such confrontations.

Time to put the entire Iranian Navy into a sunk-to-the-sea-floor category.

With the homo muzzie as CIC running the military, it does not surprise me. Would not want anything to happen to his butt buddies.

“The U.S. military assets fled after they came close to an Iranian naval fleet and were warned to move away, Irans state-controlled Fars News Agency reported. Iran also released video of the incident.”
Yeh right.
