Iranian military gunboats with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated terrorist organization, swarmed several U.S. warships on Monday that were escorting a U.S. submarine.

“Over a dozen Iranian gunboats harass formation of six U.S. warships including guided-missile submarine Georgia,” Fox News Pentagon correspondent Lucas Tomlinson said. “U.S. Coast Guard cutter fired warning shots in response in Strait of Hormuz.”

The 13 Iranian military vessels reportedly came within 150 yards of U.S. Forces, which fired 30 warning shots at the Iranian vessels. Pentagon press secretary John Kirby called the incident “significant” since previous incidents had involved fewer vessels.

Thank you Iranians! I want my Navy to be alert and ready. No matter how PC and gay friendly it is today. No matter how many of the females get preggers to avoid going out to sea.

Hoping for the best. We need it! With the way the Dems are diluting our military.

Joe may not even be aware of this incident as foreign and military power is controlled by various parts of the cabal. My guess is that Valerie Jarrett and Samantha Powers are calling the shots maybe including John Kerry and other advisors. Biden is definitely not controlling the military forces in the Persian Gulf and if all hell breaks loose and a US warship is attacked he might be given a script to read, but he will be watching TV or asleep while events are happening in the war room

what's the closing speed of an exocet?

Would it even arm at 150 yards?

They didn’t really behave themselves when Trump was president. It’s just that with the help of the Israelis we oufoxed them before they could start the war.

A while back the US military created a scenario similar to this, and the US lost. So, they kept changing the situation until the US won. Our military is still preparing for WWII.

ALL AHEAD FLANK, RIGHT FULL RUDDER, CONN, STEER FOR THE TARGET. SOUND THE COLLISION ALARM!

In remembrance of a real American hero. Captain Ernest Evans
USS Johnston DD-557. “This is going to be a fighting ship. I intend to go in harm’s way, and anyone who doesn’t want to go along had better get off right now.”

Well said and deserves repeating. It is spot on.


“A display of cowardice and imbecility supreme for all the world to see. The sea should have run RED with the blood of every crew member of the Iranian ships. You don’t fire on U.S. ships with impunity.
But under the current clown show, we have a drooling demented fool at the helm, ably assisted in stupidity by a cast of far left lunatics who wouldn’t know a ship from a Schiff. The decks of our ships are soiled by trannies looking for their next hormone shot, effeminate gays, lesbians who shoot each other instead of the enemy, and general-purpose doofuses. This incident is disgusting and I fear the next one (oh, there WILL be a next one, and soon) will result in the loss of American lives.”

Number One. 13 boats should be on the ocean floor. Number Two. The Idiot reporting subs name, onboard weapons, and movement, should be fired immediately.
