A modern-day Gulf of Tonkin?

Blowing them out of the water was an option. They were given permission. The Iranians wanted us to shoot. We should have accommodated them.

Probing for reaction or maybe they wanted to drop off some cavier for the President in honor of his visit to the region.

Sorry, but why is the Iranian navy not short five gunboats right about now? Is it because the ROE wouldn’t let our guys fire until fired upon? Yeah, that’s standard, but this is Iran and they need to know they can’t get away with this crap.

Will we go quietly in the face of the gunboats? A sunken gunboat or two would send a nice message.
