The Iranian Revolutionary Guard is up to their same old tricks again apparently. Over the weekend in the Strait of Hormuz the geniuses decided to play a game of chicken with the US Navy.
Not Smart.
From CNN:
The five Iranian ships made “threatening” moves — in one case coming within 200 yards of a U.S. ship, the U.S. officials said.
In one radio transmission, the Iranians told the U.S. Navy: “I am coming at you. You will explode in a couple of minutes,” the U.S. military officials told CNN.
It’s morons like these that give Iran a bad name on the world stage. The US were about to open fire when the RG boats turned away.
