The Iranian Navy could provide some nice target practice for the USN... :-)

[Paradox]

The fact that they did NOT say it was a “Victorious confrontation with the Great Satan” tells me something..

Top of the hour CBS Radio news..

2 F-18’s down in Persian Gulf.

Piloted punched out and rescued...

not much more detail...can’t find anything breaking on the net

[SolidWood]

WTH!!??

[ought-six]

Iran has a navy? Oh, yeah, that’s right: those speed boats and skiffs with trolling motors. Well, it was enough to capture a British Royal Navy craft and crew. The US Navy, though, is a different matter altogether.

I KNOW I heard it....still can’t find anything

Twenty years after the USS Stark, and we’re still letting them get away with it.

Weapons Free, and let the bodies hit the seabed!

They have Silkworm anti-ship missiles from North Korea and some sophisticated sea mines. Two of our ships were damaged by their mines during the first Gulf War. They aren’t a significant sea power, but they could be very irritating if they decide to shut down the straights.

That was Iraq. We paid Saddam back for it several times sice then.

“Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Monday that a confrontation between Iranian boats and U.S. Navy ships in the Persian Gulf over the weekend was “something normal” “

It is going to be “something normal” when we sink your scuzzy muzzie navy too!

It suggested the Iranian boats had not recognized the U.S. vessels.

And I have a bridge to sell.

[goodnesswins]

I am reading the Reagan Diary.....and am right where a bunch of stuff is going on JUST LIKE THIS....in 1987.....this “hot spot” needs to be destroyed!
