Iranian Fars News reported:
Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi blamed the US navy for its excited and unprofessional moves after Iran arrested 10 US marines for trespassing on its territorial waters, warning that his forces' coast-to-sea missiles were awaiting orders to hit the American aircraft carrier deployed in the region. The IRGC seized two US Navy boats on Tuesday and detained them on Iran's Farsi Island in the Persian Gulf. Nine men and one woman arrived in Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf illegally when they were captured by the IRGC Navy.
Following the capture, two US and French aircraft carriers as well as their accompanying fleets and military choppers started maneuvering near Iranian waters.
"The USS Truman Aircraft carrier showed unprofessional moves for 40 minutes after the detention of the trespassers, while we were highly prepared with our coast-to-sea missiles, missile-launching speedboats and our numerous capabilities" and were ready to strike them in case they made a hostile move, Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said after Iran released the detained US marines.

“Missiles Are Locked on US Aircraft Carrier USS Truman”
“Locked on” has a very precise meaning.
Locked on is akin to firing on you.
Article talked about tracking the ship, which is okay as TTR is not a hostile act.
Islamic Revolution Guards....
Obama call home.
Obama/Kerry just surrendered to Iran ,so what’s Iran’s point
“The US and France’s aircraft carriers were within our range and if they had continued their unprofessional moves, they would have been afflicted with such a catastrophe that they had never experienced all throughout the history,” the IRGC Navy commander cautioned.
“They could have been shot, and if they were, they would have been destroyed,” he warned again.
Rear Admiral Fadavi reminded that the IRGC is in charge of the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf and “exercises Iran’s right of sovereignty powerfully”.

We're not the same country now. We've been fundamentally changed.
Why not? In the end, Obama will order the US to stand down.
Yes they did and love every bit of it.
Unlike Japan, the mad mullahs would welcome a nuclear strike - the more dead the more likely their 12th Imam will climb out of the well he disappeared into 600 years ago, emerging to lead Islamic forces to bring about the extinction of the human race, aka bringing every one to Paradise.
Yes one would not want to make people shooting at us mad.
They must be shooting at us because they like us.
Right.
Yes. . .but that is not “locked on” as stated in the title.
Obama pedals while the world burns. A-hole.
That was then, this is now.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......................
A real President would announce to Iran, nuke ICBM locked on Iran. Fire one of your damn missiles and you will be a sand pile.
I welcome the effort, in about 12 months when President Cruz or Trump is in office. Then let’s dance.
More of Obama’s legacy...
