Persian Gulf Tensions - Iran Crisis


BBC News: Reports that the US Navy had to shoot at a mystery ship in the Persian Gulf after it refused warnings while approaching a US Ship.

Lets Get Real:

Thus far not a lot of information folks, there are reports of death and injuries on the mystery boat but not the reason it took on a US Ship. Thus far one can postulate that it might be Iran trying to see how far it can push a US Ship before it takes action, on other hand there might be an innocent reason for this close encounter with a US Vessel, lets see what comes out over the next few hours folks. It is this kind of incident that can lead to hair trigger reactions, as when the US shot down a civilian air plane in the 1980s. This is why the Iran crisis is dangerous folks, a local incident could lead to War.
