Jeez! Den iranske marine suser rundt i gummibåter og "truer" amerikanske fregatter og destroyere i internasjonalt farvann! Lukter Tonkin Bay all over again!
Og det mest fantastiske er at verden vil bedras!

Og nå, etter noen dager, er de slett ikke så sikker lenger på hva som egentlig skjedde:
Som vanlig er det lite å høre i norske medier om saken...The Pentagon said yesterday that the apparent radio threat to bomb U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf last weekend may not have come from the five Iranian Revolutionary Guard speedboats that approached them -- and may not even have been intended against U.S. targets.
The communication Sunday was made on radio channel 16, a common marine frequency used by ships and others in the region. "It could have been a threat aimed at some other nation or a myriad of other things," said Rear Adm. Frank Thorp IV, a spokesman for the Navy.
Hadde nesten glemt den historien. Ikke så rart Iran er litt mugne på US Navy...Washington post skriver videre:
The U.S. presence in the Gulf's international waters is a sensitive issue in Iran because the USS Vincennes, another Aegis cruiser, shot down an Iranian passenger plane in 1988, killing all 290 people on board. The United States at first contended that it was a warplane and then said that it was outside the civilian air corridor and did not respond to radio calls. Both were untrue, and the radio calls were made on military frequencies to which the airliner did not have access. A subsequent investigation showed that the U.S. ship was off course.
