Iran Warship Points Weapon At U.S. Helicopter



CNN: First on CNN: Iranian warship points weapon at U.S. helicopter, official says

Washington (CNN)An Iranian warship briefly pointed weapons on its deck at a U.S. military helicopter and coalition warship two weeks ago in the Gulf of Aden, a Defense official told CNN on Wednesday.

The two ships were just a few hundred yards apart on July 25 when Iranian crewmembers pointed what are believed to be on-deck machine guns at the warship and the U.S. military helicopter that had just landed on that coalition ship's deck, the Defense official said.

Seems like standard military philosophy for Iran relative to the USA.

Keep them in your sights.

I'm sure the U.S has a few "guns" pointed at Iran as well.

I'm sure they have "guns" or whatever pointed at every country in the world and probably some at its Southern States as well.
