However you can’t get overly angry with Iran for exercising their rights.

What is the definition of "overly angry?" Iran is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism. It has been involved in killing American military in Iraq. Iran was behind Khobar towers. Hezbollah was conceived by Muslim clerics and funded by Iran. Iran held American diplomats hostage for 444 days. Iran is not our friend and they are a rogue nation.

They are also a NATION, and have a right to protect their territory, whether we like them and what they have done or do or not. If our military craft violated their territory they were within their rights to do what they did... whether we like it or not.

No doubt if we had a strong administration, this incident would have been different, but like it or not, americans voted this buffoon in twice, so Iran was more bold in their handling it than they would have been otherwise, but that doesn’t mean their actions were illegal.

Had the roles been reversed and 2 military boats from Iran had entered US territorial waters, would you be outraged to find out we did that to them? Doubtful.
