Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard said Saturday a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier fired a warning shot in an "unprofessional" confrontation with Iranian vessels, the official IRNA news agency reported.
IRNA quoted a statement from the Guard as saying that the USS Nimitz and an accompanying ship came near an Iranian oil offshore platform in the Persian Gulf and a helicopter from the ship hovered near vessels manned by Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard.
The report said the confrontation took place Friday afternoon and the U.S. navy ships left the area following the encounter.
The incident comes after a U.S. Navy patrol boat fired warning shots Tuesday near an Iranian vessel that American sailors said came dangerously close to them during a tense encounter.

Good! If Iran does not like getting shot at, they need to stay in their lane! It’s not a mystery.

I. For one, would love to see the video.
Perhaps with some digital zoom, we can see the exact moment the Iranian National Cowards filled their shorts.
What the &%#* is an “unprofessional” confrontation? Practicing warfare without a license? /s

The Iranians will find out real fast that what they could get away with under the obama administration, will not go well under the Trump administration.
Shooting back is now an acceptable option for our military.
Regardless, I don’t give a crap about what a bunch of sabre rattling irans want.
Hey camel-humpers. Be glad that the Navy’s shooting was “unprofessional”. If it were professional, you’d all be dead and fish food at the bottom of the Persian Gulf.
That can be arranged, you know.
They need to be reminded that they are a 3rd world country and not part of the G-8 or G-20
They took one of our boat crews last year. They’d take a carrier if they could.
Blow them out of the water.
Next time, no warning shots. Just target practice.
Iran and it’s muzzy neighbors should have been turned into a parking lot many decades ago.
USS Nimitz ? Last I heard she was off Korea
She was. Currently in the Persian Gulf. We have only three CVNs on duty at sea, best I can tell.
Next time, forget the warning shots. We have been doing warning shots for 20 years.
Just blow them out of the water.
They will either stop, or send some more to the slaughter.
This warning shot business is dumb.
