US military clashes with Iranian ships in Persian Gulf again | Abroad

“A large group of Iranian Revolutionary Guard ships have been maneuvering in a dangerous and unprofessional manner, in disregard of the safety of the US armed forces,” said John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary.

Kirby says Iranian ships were approaching a group of six US Navy ships “at high speed.” They would have come about 135 meters away. “As per standard procedure, we honked and communicated over the air, among other things, after which about 30 warning shots were fired,” Kirby said. “They left after the second round with warning shots.”

According to the press secretary, it was not immediately clear who was giving instructions to the boats.

Similar incidents have occurred more frequently in recent years, although it has been relatively calm over the past year. At the end of April, a US military ship fired additional warning shots after three Iranian Navy boats got too close to the ship and another US patrol boat in the Persian Gulf.

He is also very agitated at the moment in Israel hated by Iran. The Temple Mount has seen clashes with Palestinians in recent days and last night the IDF carried out airstrikes on Gaza. America is known as an ally of the “Zionist state” as it is called Israel in Tehran.
