A commander in Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Wednesday that a commando unit has engraved the military organization's emblem into the side panel of an American warship stationed in the Persian Gulf.
Nur Ali Shushkari, the head of the Revolutionary Guards ground forces, told Iranian pro-government news agencies that the symbol was etched onto the ship by the crew of a submarine that had managed to reach the U.S. vessel without detection by radar.

The United States has announced that it has engraved a mile wide crater in the center of the city of Tehran, after infiltrating Iranian airspace with a Stealth Bomber. The US Airforce also announced that it provided extreme levels of temporary illumination at the time of the engraving.

So, they have changed their symbol to a star and the letters "USS"?
If graffiti is the best that they can do, I look for this to be a short war.... I mean UN debate.

Obviously an artistically unimaginative bunch
