This is the second time this week the U.S.A. has had to respond to the aggressive rogue regime of Iran. Enriched and emboldened by a traitorous President, Iran has an itchy finger on the trigger.
This, I imagine, was Obama’s plan all along. Make Iran formidable enough to take on the enemies of the West.
These recent hostile, belligerent actions by the Islamic Republic of Iran are direct threats to the Iranian sanctions passed the the US Congress. Any attempt to alter or amend the disastrous nuclear capitulation deal made by President Obama will be met with aggression and low-grade war.

US Navy ship fires flares at an Iranian patrol boat in the Persian Gulf as Tehran condemns ‘hostile’ sanctions on its missile programme passed by Congress
- Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the US Navy had approached their patrol ships
- The vessels were in the Persian Gulf and Iran claim the US’ move was provocative
- On Tuesday, US Navy patrol ship fired warning shots at a Guards boat in the Gulf
- Today, Iran condemned sanctions passed by US Congress against its missiles
A US Navy ship has fired flares at an Iranian patrol boat in the Persian Gulf on the day Tehran condemned new sanctions on its missile programme.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Saturday that the US Navy had approached their patrol vessels in the Gulf and fired flares in what it called a provocative move yesterday afternoon.
In a statement, the Guards said: ‘The supercarrier USS Nimitz and its accompanying warship, while being monitored by the Guards’ frigates, flew a helicopter near the Resalat oil and gas platform and approached the force’s ships.
‘The Americans in a provocative and unprofessional move, sent a warning message to the frigates and fired flares.’

The US Navy patrol boat fired warning shots near the Iranian vessel that American sailors said came dangerously close to them during a tense encounter in the Persian Gulf. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard later blamed the American ship for provoking the situation
The Guards ‘ignored the unconventional move by the US ships and continued their mission, after which the supercarrier and its warship left the area,’ the statement added.
On Tuesday, a US Navy patrol ship fired warning shots at a Guards boat in the Gulf as it closed in on the American vessel, US officials said.
The Guards denied approaching the US ship on that occasion and said it was the American vessel that had been at fault.
een US ships and Iranian vessels in the Gulf in recent months.
In January, the USS Mahan destroyer fired warning shots at four Iranian Revolutionary Guard vessels that approached at high speed in the Strait of Hormuz, which connects it to the Indian Ocean.
The Revolutionary Guards are a paramilitary force that answers directly to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The force’s boats periodically approach US warships in international waters and the Strait of Hormuz, ignoring US radio messages and giving little indication of their intentions.
In January 2016, the Iranians briefly captured the crew of two small US patrol boats that strayed into Iranian waters.
The 10 US sailors were released 24 hours later.
The latest incident comes after the US Congress approved new sanctions against Iran.
Today, Iran condemned new sanctions passed by the US Congress against its missile programme, which President Donald Trump is set to sign into law, and vowed to continue it.
‘We will continue with full power our missile programme,’ foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi told state broadcaster IRIB.
‘We condemn the hostile and unacceptable action,’ he said of the sanctions.

Every word that every muslim ever spoke was a lie. islam is founded and maintains itself on lies. This latest grunt and utterance is another in the ongoing series of muslim lies.

To them it is part of islamic literature, the lie is carefully described so muslims get the most benefit from it.

We had better sit up and take notice. Despite the pinprick maneuvers in the Persian Gulf and propaganda statements by a nuclear Iran and “in your face” surprise missile launches and exhortations by a nuclear North Korea, the next Pearl Harbor or 9/11 sneak assault may have a completely different complexity. And there WILL be a next time.
