A U.S. Navy coastal patrol ship changed course after a fast-attack craft from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps came within 100 yards (91 meters) of it in the central Gulf on Sunday, two U.S. Defense Department officials told Reuters on Tuesday.
It was at least the fourth such incident in less than a month. U.S. officials are concerned that these actions by Iran could lead to mistakes.

This is what happens when you negotiate with terrorists and hostage-takers: more terrorism and more hostage-taking.

It seems to me that Iran actually WANTS a war with the USA which would be a BIG mistake on their part.
To: spel_grammer_an_punct_polise
They want a war before Trump is sworn in. They hope Obama surrenders.

As am I. When a country repeatedly declares that it’s at war with us and our leadership does nothing in response (and even worse, negotiates imaginary “nuke deals” with same), where does that lead?

They know our armed forces have been emasculated by order of the Commander in Chief. No response will be taken by our navy. They are mocking us, showcasing our impotence to the rest of the world. Just like the Rus buzzing our carriers.

I think they want a carrier. There have been a number of reports over the years where the Iranian’s express resentment of our carriers. It would be to their advantage to sink a carrier before the negro community organizer leaves the White House-(if he leaves.) There would be no effective American response to the loss of a carrier by the cabal in the White House.

Zero is on Iran’s side. He’s enjoying the U.S. looking
weak.

A firm message to Iran that 440 yards (a quarter mile) is the red line and, if there is not a proper response, the vessels) will be sunk.
Then just do it! dammit!
THE CHOICE WILL BE IRAN'S!
p.s. those so-called "U.S. officials" should be reprimanded and jailed or court-martialed.
