Dropping large objects into the water near American warships is aggressive behavior. It really doesn't matter what you say or don't say.
The Iranians now know they can get within 300 yards of American Warships and drop mines in the water.
Everyone who is informed knows we’re going to have to take out Iran sooner or later. I think we should do it when we’re ready and have the best reason for attacking them. This might not have been it, but it’s coming.
