LONDON, April 12 (IranMania) - A report claims Iranian boats engaged a US warship in the Persian Gulf 'in a taunting manner', echoing previous accusations against Tehran, PressTV reported.

Three small Iranian boats approached the USS Typhoon late Thursday, CNN television reported on Friday.

According to the report, at least one of the Iranian boats came 'within 200 yards' of the US Navy ship, claiming that the incident prompted 'the crew onboard the Typhoon to fire a warning flare'.

I think this is the begginning of it all
Any thoughts on how this will play out?

The last time seemed far more threatening, with the "We are coming to blow you up" voiceover.

I dont think much will come of this. If an Iran war starts, it will be because of a pre-emptive strike by the US or Israel.

Does anyone think it may have somthing to do with this?

Can anyone say Gulf of Tonkin?

Seems to me that 99% of the people don't want war. The rest are power-hungry despots in government. But OH do they want their wars and they do everything they can think of to keep the death machines running.

I did eight Persian Gulf cruises while on active duty. Things like this were not uncommon.

The only reason it's news worthy is because of the current situation, along with probably being a slow news day.
