ABOARD THE USS MAHAN, ARABIAN GULF — Iranian forces in a fast-attack boat had their guns pointed right at a U.S. destroyer as it sped directly towards the ship, in a dangerous encounter in January, a U.S. Navy captain said.
Fearing collision, U.S. Navy Cmdr. Marc Davis was eventually forced to fire three warning shots from the ship’s .50 caliber guns, he said in a recent one-on-one interview with Breitbart News, where he shared new details about the incident.
The contact began early Sunday morning on January 8 when one of four Iranian boats harassing the Mahan began speeding straight towards the destroyer and its 330 sailors onboard, forcing a series of attempts to get it to stop.
Way too many warnings. Tell them once, then blow them out of the water.
The way it’s been going with Iran- no more warning shots- if their boats come full throttle at one of our boats-blow them out of the water and ask questions later. allah akubar and piss on them in the water.
This was on January 8. I wonder if the rules of engagement have changed just a wee bit, now that the Pentagon’s new toll free number has been changed to 1-800-MAD-DOG3. After all, the SecDef lives by the credo of “Be professional but have a plan to kill everyone you meet!”
Why do we keep screwing with these clowns. How about 4,500 rounds per minute of depleted uranium to convince them?
There are many peace loving Iranians who desire freedom from their oppressive islamic regime. When they made a stand against islamic oppression and for freedom, Obama spoke not a word of support and turned his back. He did the same with Turkey.
Both should realize Trump is a new leader, Thank God.
I’m looking forward to them trying this again now that President Trump is in the Oval Office. I think there will be a different ending to the story.

Mad Dog, please, with tears in your eyes, kill these bastards.
I have a seven-letter word for these Islamo-assholes:
PHALANX
Tsunami,
Yea, it shoots 4,500 rounds per minute of depleted uranium.
It’s time to leave a few oil slicks in the Persian Gulf, and I ain’t talking about olive oil.
The three warning shots should have struck the vessel about mid ships and been fired from the 5″ guns. That would warn the whole area.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_frigate_Sahand Hey Iran! Remember this? If *can* happen again, if you get my drift! Your pal Oblowme ain’t around to cover your oily asses anymore!
I’m with Tsunami and Brad. You can shred these asshats quite easily with a Phalanx. LIGHT ‘EM UP!!!! ;^)
I wonder how this boatload of goatf*ckers would look skewered on the bow of a DDG?
President Lazlo: “Is this the Captain?”
Captain of any vessel over there: “Yes sir, Mr. President.”
“I have an Air Force General in my office that says your squid cooks are piss poor marksmen with a deck mounted mini-gun. Is that true?”
“No sir Mr. President”
“I am a mild mannered man, Captain, but I cannot have this kind of division among the different branches of the military.”
“Yes, Mr. President”
“So, the next time those Iranian Bastards show up, you get those boys out of the kitchen, and bring them up in the fresh air, and give those kids some target practice. Am I being clear on this?”
Crystal clear, Mr. President”
“You have yourself a nice day.”
They were clearly on the attack.
Even Stevie Wonder could see this.
Phalanx, overkill, Ma Deuce will do the job just as she has for a hundred years.
Remember the Cole!
I’d prefer that North Korea be our first demonstration of power.
But Iran will also do nicely.
Let’s help them fulfill their dreams of going to see Allah.
