No, just tabloid journalism designed to spike the adrenaline of readers.
The Iranian ships were firing directly away from the U.S. ships, towards Iran.
U.S. ships were 1,500 yards from the Iranian ships (backside of the missile launches).
Straight of Hormuz gets narrow. If you are going through it, you are going to be close to live-fire exercises.

Yes, good analysis. The headline and hype were designed to sell commercials at Fox news.

"No, just tabloid journalism designed to spike the adrenaline of readers."
Absolutely correct.
This was only a provocation to little girls playing High Tea.

Whether they were shooting away or not isn't the point so much as the fact that they wouldn't have dared do anything so provocative if we had a real leader in the Whitehouse. I'm sure that had Regan or maybe even Bush been in office,we would have done some test firing of our own.

This does not matter. This is still the Iranians telling the US to fling off. They are building ICBMs and nuclear warheads while Ovomit and Curry smile...
