CNN reports iranian navy made threatening moves

from the audio track, I would say our guys were very polite and respectful in informing the guy in the little boat he was gonna get blown to smithereens if he didnt alter course

That's a dangerous game they are playing and in international waters, no less.

As soon as they came in range, I would've lit em up with the 50 cal's!

The video lends alot of credence to the US Navy's assertion that the guys in the little boats were making harassing moves

I think the only thing that saved those guys lives was the current rules of engagement the Navy follows

in a true war zone they wouldn't have gotten with 10 miles even in Hormuz

Yep, warn them twice, put some rounds over the bow, then sink them to the bottome of the straights!
 
Just two days after the U.S. Navy released the eerie video of Iranian speedboats swarming around American warships, which featured a chilling threat in English, the Navy is saying that the voice on the tape could have come from the shore or from another ship.

U.S. Navy Face-Off With IranThe near-clash occurred over the weekend in the Strait of Hormuz. On the U.S.-released recording, a voice can be heard saying to the Americans, "I am coming to you. You will explode after a few minutes."

The Navy never said specifically where the voices came from, but many were left with the impression they had come from the speedboats because of the way the Navy footage was edited.

Today, the spokesperson for the U.S. admiral in charge of the Fifth Fleet clarified to ABC News that the threat may have come from the Iranian boats, or it may have come from somewhere else.

We're saying that we cannot make a direct connection to the boats there," said the spokesperson. "It could have come from the shore, from another ship passing by. However, it happened in the middle of all the very unusual activity, so as we assess the information and situation, we still put it in the total aggregate of what happened Sunday morning. I guess we're not saying that it absolutely came from the boats, but we're not saying it absolutely didn't."
