"The IRGCN vessels, a type of large speed boat armed with rockets or other unguided weapons, approached Firebolt in the middle of the Persian Gulf on Sunday. Three peeled off and shadowed the PC from about 500 yards away for about eight minutes before turning and leaving the area, Cmdr. Bill Urban told Navy Times on Tuesday.
One of the remaining four FIACs in the area then turned and stopped directly in Firebolt's path."
Obama allowing these people to humiliate America. America needs a real president.

Me thinks that Obama might just want to start a war...to cement his party in the presidency. Historically that is what has happened...WWI,WWII,Korea,Vietnam....etc; He is anti US enough to do anything and so is Illary@!

They have enough to take out these militarized speedboats. A rapid-fire auto cannon is really all you need.

That’s what old fishing nets are good for. Immobilize a couple and see what the rest do.

A real commander in chief would have been on the phone last time to tell the Iranians that if they get within a certain distance, that is considered a hostile act and the vessels will be fired upon.
