Re: ranians threatened U.S. ships in Hormuz: Pentagon
After Cole the Navy is going to take movements by other boats they deem threatening very serious and the movements made by the Iranians boats were deemed just that and while they might be normal movements as claimed by Iran that doesn't mean the Navy doesn't see them as threatening. Add to the facts you have a voice over the radio at the same time saying "I am coming at you. You will explode in a couple of minutes." and a whole new level of danger is reached.
The good news is no one was killed and this incident may actually stop an accidental confrontation from occuring in the future.
