WASHINGTON –
An American navy ship has Tuesday in the Persian Gulf, warning shots are discharged to an Iranian vessel that came too close. According to a Us official gave the USS Thunderbolt warning shots when the Iranian ship 150 metres away. The Iranians, probably from the Revolutionary Guard, had not responded to attempts to get on the radio to communicate.
Similar incidents do occur more frequently in the Persian Gulf. An American destroyer did in January warning shots when four Iranian patrol boats with high speed approached. In January 2016, took Iran even ten American sailors captured, who after a short time again were released.
Donald Trump said during his election campaign in september that if he was president, the Iranian ships the American fleet in the Persian Gulf harass “out of the water popped” would be.
