In early April, the US Navy reports, Iranian Revolutionary Guards ships, including attack boats and a support vessel, “swarmed” a pair of US Coast Guard cutters operating in international waters in the Persian Gulf.
Since US ships are constantly meandering around on the cusp of Iranian waters, it’s not unusual for the Iranians to go out there and see why. This was the first case of 2021, according to officials, who predictably complained about “unprofessional” behavior by the Iranians.
When the US sends ships to other nations’ maritime borders, they generally feign outrage at interception, even though as usual no actual military confrontation took place. US military ships would naturally do the same thing if another country’s military showed up off the coast.
The ships involved were the Coast Guard cutters Monomoy and Wragnell, and it’s worth nothing that they were much closer to the Iranian coast than any American coast. The navy claimed the Iranian boats came within 70 yards of the Wrangell.
That’s not that close in the grand scheme of things, and they were in radio communication with the Iranians the whole time. The similar 2020 incident claimed the boat was within 10 yards, and that didn’t result in any collisions either, just a bunch of threats from then-President Trump to shoot Iranian ships. It is likely only the recent round of tensions that brought US ships back to the area under Biden, and subsequently provoked new incidents.
Little mutts, ankle biters and yappers, barking and running around but alwaysout of the new big dog in their neighborhood.
What infuriates the little yappers the most is that the big dog pays no attention to them, and is pissing wherever it wants in matking out its territory.
The little yappers keep yapping and running about even aftrr big dog has left; tails curled andhair stamding upon back they soon return to having noses up each others butts btagging how they showed big dpg how tough they were.
Later on when they see their masters the know they will get tummy rubs and pats on heads with mastrrs saying; Good Doggie Good doggies, and then the yappers will find a berth to first lick their balls and then go back to sleep.
Are you talking about US politicians?
While the big dog mauls little children and should be put to sleep.
Yep thats what happens to mad dogs.
Little yappers ? , i had a jack Russle terrier that tore the throat out of a German Shepard Dog and killed it the German shepard made the mistake of underestimating it`s target.
This is being amplified and exaggerated in the msm to justify USA scuttling any return to the JCPOA
……”Coast Guard Cutters” in the “Persian Gulf”????……WTF!
US Coastguard…!!!! Which coast they are guarding…!
Russia / China should announce navel war games of the coast of florida.
The Coast Guard, of all people, should know the maritime rules of the road- the larger vessel has the right of way. Any vessel under 65 feet in length- and the IRGC swift boats certainly fit that category- is obligated to steer clear of larger, less maneuverable vessels. The CG was under no obligation to take evasive action. https://www.formulaboats.com/blog/boating-right-of-way-rules/#/5-A-Power-Driven-Vessel
