Video and Photos of those Crazy I-Ranians

Posted By Blackfive

Small craft suspected to be from the Islamic Republic of Iran Revolutionary Guard Navy, maneuvers aggressively in close proximity of the U.S. Navy Aegis-class cruiser USS Port Royal (CG 73), Aegis-class destroyer USS Hopper (DDG 70) and frigate USS Ingraham (FFG 61). All three ships were steaming in formation and had just completed a routine Strait of Hormuz transit. Coalition vessels, including U.S. Navy ships, routinely operate in the vicinity of both Islamic Republic of Iran Navy and IRGCN vessels and aircraft, without incident.

And here is some video footage via the USS Hopper's command deck ("This is a coalition warship. I am engaged in transit passage...":

This is the video that the Iranians are claiming was fabricated (i.e. faked) by the US.

Jimbo's take on those whacky Iranians is a good read if you haven't read it yet.
