What’s to prevent our CINC from establishing ROE where our forces have to wait until they are hit before they fire back? Perhaps even then to wait for presidential approval to return fire.
All this talk of how we would handily deal with the Iranian Navy neglects to take into account who we have in charge.

Who is going to tow them here?
Do they even have a ship over 1,500 tons?

As long as the socialist Putz remains ensconced in the Oval Office, threats against America’s heartland grow and grow - from Iran and others.
Is THIS change we can live with?????

We have more to fear from the Mexican cartels than these big mouthed wannabe trouble makers.
While we have no control over the mexican border, the east coast is stitched up tighter than a drum. Absolutely nothing above the size of a 10 meter boat moves undetected, and nothing flying bigger than a J-3 goes without notice. And this is for several hundred miles off the coast.
We need to do some good old time shouldering and crowding exercises with this floatsom. Bring it on.

I say just send our SEAL teams up over their gunwhales on a night when there is a new moon, and have a fast attack craft standing by with a chipper/shredder mounted on the stearn. That way, after the fast attack craft pulls up alongside the Iranian vessel, the SEALs can just drop the bodies into the hopper and feed the fish. Scuttle the vessel with several charges after it has been moved quite a ways from the intercept point.
With all of that done, if anyone says anything... You just say "Hell, Captain Henry Morgan ain't dead - he was just restin' for a spell."

I don't know exactly what is Iran's purpose for doing such but it's not likely to directly confront the American Navy nor is our navy likely to sink them.
I suspect it is a projection of power. Just showing they can do it and get away with it. Their target audience is not us but other middle eastern nations. Although annoying us is a nice bonus.
It is a show of power to influence local events present and future and impress other Islamic Nations.

Remember that in the Fall of 1941, the “Imperial Japanese Navy” was the punchline of a lot of jokes.

Hope they brought shark repellent.
They’ll need it.
