7 Iranian Boats Harass Navy Ship in Gulf
Iranian fast boats have once again harassed an American ship in the Persian Gulf, forcing a U.S. Navy patrol boat to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision with one of the Iranian boats.
American officials have labeled the Iranian actions in Sunday's encounter involving the USS Firebolt as "unsafe and unprofessional." It is the latest in a string of such incidents over the past two weeks in which small craft from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) have harassed U.S. Navy ships in the Gulf.
"The USS Firebolt, a patrol craft, was operating in international waters in the central Arabian Gulf, was approached by seven fast-attack craft from Iran," Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters today.

0bama has prolly given orders to surrender to any hostile Iranian naval activity that threatens the USN, but somewhere out there a crew is itching to try out all their electronic warfare doodads on some asshole Iranians. They can pack enough explosives on one of those fast boats to wreck a destroyer from 500 yards away, and the bastards get closer than that.
