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.

Warning shots? Good grief!
The ships should strap John F’in Kerry to the bow and ram the Iranian gun boats.
Yep. And look what is going on in Israel. All tied.
“...whose mission is “inclusiveness and diversity” ...
Don’t forget “equity”.
...Strait of Hormuz
...Russian armor on border of Ukraine and Estonia
...Likely Russian hack of a US east coast Gas Pipeline
This is just the start. If no responses, it will get worse.
This is bad.
Great analysis.
I have to assume that these boats are not just randomly “swarming” round, but rather are practicing attack maneuvers. And we let them. Hope the Navy is watching very closely and analyzing every move.
If we governed there like we govern here on our streets, our ships would all be in jail for those warning shots and brandishing. /s
Maybe Joseph Stolen should call in Seal Team 6... oh, wait...
Xiben is so strong on Iran. Thank the Lord ee don’t have an embassy in Tehran.
If only it had been 31 warning shots, this could have all been ended...
Or teaching them that you are an incredibly poor shot.
You've seen the videos and heard the words ... by himself he is a functional imbecile.
ANYthing that comes out of this White House is an element designed to destroy the USA and further global domination by Satan.
With Biden in the Oval Office and Austin at the Pentagon, look for more Navy surrenders like we saw during Obama’s terms. Sink every boat that comes too close or acts in a hostile manner.
Several somebodys will have to be killed and assets lost before plugs will even consider doing anything.
Did this happen at night when no one is in the office? It’s not a crime if it’s after dark.
You wrote that too easily. Should you or I be scared? (Just kidding)
I’m sure if Jao sent Kerry over with more tribute money they’d consider not doing this quite so much.
