Those Iranian boats should have been turned into flotsam as soon as they got within range, especially after they broadcast an attack message and dropped presumed improvised mines in the water near our ships. I’m sure their was some furious communications between the captains of those ships and their command, but they took a huge risk in letting those Iranian boats get as close as they did.

I agree totally. Can you imagine if they had actually attacked one of our ships in international waters?

These psychos might have been engaging in a dry run, to test our reaction.

One of the problems of being a world power is that you are expected to show patience and rationality.

Now that we've done so, we can blast the bastards to smithereens.

And I know there are sound profiles from the event on every US Navy ship in the area, just waiting for those twerps to fire up their engines so we can fire up our guns.

Personally, I hope we capture the rag heads and send them to Gitmo.
