Small Iranian boats taunt US warship in Gulf
Iranian boats engaged in a mild and taunting confrontation with a US warship in the Gulf, CNN television reported Friday. Late Thursday the three small Iranian boats approached the U.S.S. Typhoon, the report said. One of those Iranian boats coming within 200 yards of the navy boat, CNN reported, leading the crew onboard the Typhoon to fire a warning flare. The Iranians were manning in a taunting manner, CNN said citing an unnamed US official. In January five Iranian speed boats approached three US Navy war ships in the same area, fuelling tension between the two countries. Posted by: Fred 2008-04-12 |
