* Tense encounter took place in international waters in the Persian Gulf on April 2
* Iranian Revolutionary Guard ship cut across the bows of two USCG vessels
* US Navy calls the incident an 'unsafe and unprofessional interaction'
An Iranian warship repeatedly crossed the bows of U.S. military vessels in international waters in an 'unsafe and unprofessional interaction,' the U.S. Navy said on Tuesday.
The tense encounter in the Persian Gulf on April 2 was the first such incident in about a year amid wider turmoil in the region over Tehran's tattered nuclear deal.
Images released by the Navy showed a ship commanded by Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard cut in front of the USCGC Monomoy, causing the Coast Guard vessel to come to an abrupt stop with its engine smoking on April 2.

ReplyDeleteThe Cabal pulling President Puppet's strings were never going to let us know. Word of the incident went up the chain of command. The buck stopped at Water Boy's desk or at Martha's Vinyard. But shore call came, people got off the boat for some R & R and, word got out. It forced the hand of the cabalists and fabulists.
ReplyDeleteDO YOU SEE WHY WE NEED A Foreign Malign Influence Center? THESE LEAKERS CANNOT TELL THJEIR LOVES ONES THAT THEY WERE IN HARMS WAY! THE NERVE OF THESE PEOPLE TO TELL FAMILY THEY WERE ALMOST INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AT SEA!

They would never have tried that stunt if Trump was in office...just saying.
ReplyDeletefoaming at the mouth. Iran got increasingly aggressive and under Trump. Sign up and get with the military instead of fighting on your keyboard.
ReplyDeleteDid those Iranian ships fire guns at us? did they crash our ships? but you want a war? you go then
Troll,
ReplyDeleteI've been to war twice. Can you claim the same?
Avoiding collision can necessitate abrupt maneuvers, which could cause injuries although there has been no collision. Have you been on a ship? Have been on a small boy?
Do you know the Rules of the Road? Do you know anything worth knowing?

Well, we know you won't debate point by point. You just engage in generalizations, lies, and name calling. You are a peach, 12:19. We all love you like we love a bad rash.
1. you have been to war twice:? WwI and WWII or do you mean one war and sent back a second time to that war?
ReplyDelete2. ps: I have served in the army two times. One time in a war zone.
3. I do not like Iran. I disliked Iran under the Shah and I disliked it under the present regime.
4.WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump told his top national security advisers last week that because of the coronavirus pandemic he didn't think an aggressive response to new attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq by Iranian-backed militias was the right move, according to one former and four current senior U.S. officials.
Trump expressed concern that hitting back hard at Iran at this time would make the U.S. look bad given the extent to which Iran and the rest of the world are struggling to contain the spread of COVID-19, the officials said. They said the president made the comments during a meeting at which his advisers briefed him on possible military responses to the attacks.
It was a notable shift for a president who has made a bellicose approach to Iran a cornerstone of his foreign policy agenda and one that showcases how consumed Trump now is with the coronavirus pandemic.
1. you have been to war twice:? WwI and WWII or do you mean one war and sent back a second time to that war?
ReplyDelete"WWI and WWII": Is that a boomer joke? If so "OK Boomer". Or are you displaying your lack of ability with numbers?
2. ps: I have served in the army two times. One time in a war zone.
18 months or 2 years for training due to Selective Service and the second time for a war. What is that? 4 years total? Did you earn a purple heart for catching a venereal disease?
3. I do not like Iran. I disliked Iran under the Shah and I disliked it under the present regime.
Shah was a bad man why? Because he set up a social security system? Does that make him bad.
Read the book On Wings of Eagles, if you can read at that level.
We won't get into the Iranian constitution. You are spoon fed knowledge in small doses and still you do not learn.

Let us read about your war record before denouncing mine.
ReplyDeleteShah was very bad! I know a few Iranians who suffered under him and also know he sent his spies to the US to check out Iranian students here. He was a fascist, he tortured opponents, he was oppressive...social security? that was first set up by Otto Von Bismark...and you call me dumb? you are no better, no smarter than your mommy
You are speaking with Smith supposed Iraq war aircraft maintainer. His ptsd extreme considering the role. Man he must of been of fun to work with can only imagine. Dude climbs the walls better than a spider
DeleteAs the economy improved, the shah increasingly seized more and more power. Everything down to the minutiae of the state needed to pass his desk. And slowly, he lost control by trying to take all of it.
ReplyDelete“He eliminated the center of Iranian politics, he certainly eliminated the left and he even eliminated much of the right and the only political force that was allowed to continue and expand . was the Islamists,” Milani said. “He never saw where the threat came from. He wasn’t alone. The CIA didn’t. MI6 didn’t.”
Also hidden from view was his cancer. He had secretly taken chemotherapy for years but knew he had little time left. He took Valium and other medication as well, likely only adding to his indecisive nature.
There had been a crackdown against political opponents, seeing thousands imprisoned and tortured by his feared SAVAK intelligence service. State media in Iran now typically refer to the shah as “despotic,” focusing on the abuses and his lavish lifestyle.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN I LIKE THE CURRENT STATE...FAR FROM IT
"Shah was very bad! I know a few Iranians who suffered"
ReplyDeleteName significant countries outside of Europe or North America, who do not torture. Assuming they torture compare numbers between now and then. Might someone of those people be bad people or influenced by bad people? Nice people MEK. I swear my quarters had to be in a MEK torture chamber. All that tile and not fixtures. Just off.
Once again troll copy and pastes at 4:31. 4:31 does not have a brain of its own. Look at the bright side, we do not have to worry if the appropriate pronouns are he, she, or they. Bonus!
ReplyDeleteNever saw it coming, eh? So Khomeini was exiled for shits and giggles? Saying that the CIA did not see it coming is a shocker? They hired Brennan LOL!
