US officials are denying the reports, but Iranian officials say that US and Iran troops have engaged in “direct battle” in Iranian territory, with at least nine Iranian soldiers slain.
Alireza Tangsiri, the naval commander of the Iran Revolutionary Guards, reported a number of battles with US forces. He said Iran proved they will defend their sovereignty in the maritime areas.
There are not a lot of specifics beyond the Nov. 3 battle over a tanker, which the US says didn’t happen. There, Iran claimed a US attempt to steal an oil tanker. Iran released video of the confrontation.
There were no reports of death in that incident, though. Tangsiri’s comments suggest more incidents, and more recent ones, though without specific details, there is as yet nothing for the US to deny.
I would not doubt that spec Ops units are and have been operating within Iran for years, it would be too tempting for them to resist.
There is one anti Iran group whose offices are in US that although was classifies as terrorist US dumps millions a year upon that Iran and US group concurs has carried out attacks in Iran; one of which was upon a nuke energy site.
Their military was trained by and at old Blackwater on Caribbean sea and they are based nearby.
US has covert units operating through world quite a few in Africa and possibly two seal units working with Phillipine military on off islands.
US had spec Ops all the years of embargo spotting targets for Clinton who dropped more bombs in last year of term than had been dropped upon Afghanistan and Iraq all the years before.
At Iraq US had couple hundred such operating with one Kurdishbgroup months before last in Asian began.
Shooting war between two nations, I lean heavily that Iran is telling truth.
I believe Iran.
We took one a few months back, sold the oil. Piracy.
Well, the United States never took responsibility for shooting down Flight 655, and in fact still refuses to do so to this day.
Or our own TWA flight 800.
Instead:
“Rogers was instead awarded the prestigious medal of Legion of Merit for his so-called outstanding service.”

The US wouldn’t start something in the Persian Gulf unless Turkey and Azerbaijan were ready in the South Caucasus. Are they?
