U.S. cutter fires at Iranian vessels in Strait of Hormuz
(Worthy News) – A U.S. Coast Guard cutter fired at least 30 warning shots at a group of Iranian fast-attack boats Monday while escorting a U.S. Navy submarine through a tense section of the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.
Pentagon officials said the incident marked the second time in the last three weeks that a U.S. warship has fired warning shots at Iranian fast attack boats harassing Navy vessels operating in the heavily trafficked international waters.
Monday developments came as six U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships were escorting the USS Georgia, a guided missile submarine, through the Strait of Hormuz. The submarine was traveling on the surface of the water, where it had a limited ability to protect itself. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
