A US Navy ship opened a warning fire on an Iranian vessel

A US Navy ship opened a warning fire when an Iranian patrol boat approached it in the northern part of the Persian Gulf, reports CNN with reference to sources in the Pentagon.

Ship Thunderbolt fired warning shots after several radio contact attempts were ignored by the Iranian ship.

- said the agency.

It is noted that the ship, which allegedly belongs to the Corps of Guards of the Islamic Revolution, approached the American ship closer than 150 yards (about 127 meters), which caused the incident. According to the AR, this is a US cyclone USS Thunderbolt patrol vessel.

The crew of the Iranian vessel did not respond to any warnings. After the fire was opened, the ship departed from the American ship, but did not leave this zone for several hours. In the immediate vicinity of the Thunderbolt ship, there were still several US Navy ships patrolling the waters.

- said the source agency

Earlier, the United States repeatedly complained that Iranian boats were approaching too close to American ships in the Persian Gulf. So, in August last year, four CSIR boats approached 275 meters to the destroyer Nitze in the vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz. In January, the American ship fired several warning shots at Iranian boats, and in April, the destroyer Mahan was forced to change course to avoid a collision with an Iranian boat.

In late March, Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehgan advised the Americans to leave the Persian Gulf and not to bother the countries of the region.

Their fear is dangerous ... It is enough to recall the civilian airliner shot down in the Persian Gulf.
Then they, too, were scared. 290 people died

Good question Victor! Mattresses completely messed up the edges. This is the same as a lover taking offense at her husband because he is bothering him ... that is, he was intolerant of his body through assault, having caught his wife in bed. It's time to sink mattresses across the oceans, if they moved 100 miles from the zone of their territorial waters.

The question is NOT WHAT ?, but the question is TIME! By all available means, in any region of the planet! At least torpedoes, at least mines, at least dolphins, at least suicide bombers on the "junks", but as much as possible so that their "troughs" do not go beyond their bases. Whoever does this, it will be fair and deserved.

[Ararat]

Well? Where is Russia where is Syria?

[Rostislav]

Russia at the official request of the Syrian government is present there.
And thanks for the question, because the answer once again reminds the whole world - Russia is present at the official request of the Syrian government.
And all the other self-proclaimed "peacekeepers" led by the minke whales are terrorists, because they sent troops into the territory of a sovereign state without a UN mandate and against the will of the Syrian government.

Let's put the question differently. Where is the USA, and where is the Persian Gulf, in which the US ship opens warning fire on the ship of a country that historically has its own water area and its economic interest in the area, where the US is NOBODY at all?
And yet, yes, Russia is in Syria at the official invitation of the legitimate authorities of Syria. Who invited the USA?

[Ararat]

I have already set the answer, but I will write it again. Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE. Which are also sovereign states and at their request and interstate agreement are the US Armed Forces. Are you satisfied with the answer?

[hotrod]

These are not sovereign states, but six US states. There are not so many sovereign states on the planet :)

[Ararat]

Hahahaha ok! Well then, is Syria also 6?

Quite .... I think you agree that Russia is in this region at the official invitation of the Syrian authorities, which are no less than Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, are entitled to protection and assistance. And by the way, yesterday Iraq expressed a desire for a greater presence of the Russian Armed Forces in Iraq (hello to the mattresses), and Qatar, which fully tasted the price of the boycotts organized by the USA, offered its services in providing a platform for negotiations on Syria, because it received the status of "participant" in international agenda, he will for some time delay the moment of reprisal that the US has prepared for Qatar. It turns out that the countries you cited, as an example, are not entirely united on the issue of the US presence. Someone is happy, and someone just suffers. The question is how long will their patience last?

[Ararat]

You misunderstood me, I did not blame Russia for anything for its presence in Sirri and its legitimacy, I just made it clear that, like Russia, the USA is in this region for legitimate reasons, whether Iran likes it or not.

[AUL]

Yeah .... Well, everything is very emotional! "Insolent! Nefig them to do there! Stoke! Spilling them. Stalin!" And so on. And essentially:
1. The incident occurred in NEUTRAL waters.
2. The IRPS boat violated the rules of the MPSS by approaching a warship less than by cables, not responding to attempts to contact, following a dangerous course.
3. The American tried to contact the Iranian boat in order to smooth out the situation for good.
4. And what would our ship do in the Mediterranean Sea in a similar situation, if, for example, an Israeli boat would fly at it? I think I would have done exactly the same, and everyone would have applauded.
So, despite the emotions, let's be more objective!

The story of Hawaii joining the United States is also very reeking. So much so that you can rightfully rephrase the famous movie: "You will answer us for Hawaii."

[Ararat]

Unlike you, suicides do not sit in Iran? One torpedo aboard the boat will result in a beating for Iran. Americans dream about it. 100 sailors will die, but Trump will have his own war. And the military-industrial complex will weep with happiness.

[Oleg L.]

Do not tell me, if the mattresses could and would like, then they would have attacked Iran long ago as an ideological adversary, but the power of the Iranian army is such that the matrastane’s bolt thread will burst with it in this region. This is not for you to bomb Serbia.

[Ararat]

Who will fight against Iran when thousands of American soldiers in Afghanistan, Kuwait and Iraq? When they finally leave Afghanistan, then the mess with Iran will begin. Mattresses can and very well especially against Iran and its antediluvian tanks and aircraft. What they can do is just caramel rockets with HEs. Do not tell a moe slippers!

[Oleg L.]

You are lying to Iran with excellent tanks, randomly similar to the T 90MS
Aircraft is a fig, I agree, but defense needs more powerful air defense, and Iran still has + a millionth armed to the teeth Ground Army + even better equipped Guardian of the Islamic Revolution. I am silent already that Iran has an elementary opportunity to block the Strait of Hormuz in a variety of ways, etc. in general, it’s clear that the matter is dead and the mattresses will not climb into Iran, at least directly, as you imagine it. I missed Iran with missiles, I think it’s a lot better than Eun, so it will be painful to landmines, to get bases

[Ararat]

Americans will not go to a ground operation, not the relief, the culture, not the Arabs. But rolling into the asphalt with strategic aviation and the largest fleet in the world will not be difficult. Tanks T-72, Zulfigar, M-60 and T-55 can not affect the general situation in the warhead. Having set up a foothold in the CA, Jordan and the Arabian Sea will nullify this millionth land group. What they can hope for is their missiles than they can threaten bases at a distance of up to 2000km. Their air defense only on paper is strong. The only tools that can create a problem are S-300PMU2 and Tor M1. I highly doubt Iran’s ability to stop the massive missile strike by the Tomahawks, JASSM-ER, JSOW, Harpoon, HAARM and LRASM. 3 AUGs and 15-20 Ticonderoges with the Berks will tear their air defense for the most I do not want.

so he is already forbidden to sell oil, if they cut off supplies to China and Asia in general, what should he lose? but they are pulling a pipe to Russia, they will sell oil to Russia in exchange for Russian goods, and Russia itself will ban oil.
and then that strait will be buried in general to Iran.

[donavi49]

If he closes the strait for everyone, then 24 / 7 will begin to glass it. The coalition will be immediately ready from Israel to the KSA, from the United States to which France and England.

In the tanker war - he only attacked the Iraqi and Iraqi tankers. And then he snatched it in response. Plus, then the United States was profitable war of Iraq and Iran - and they did not want to stop it. Now the situation is different. Everyone is waiting only for a convenient reason - to start bombing all in a crowd.

You're right. Absolutely. But there are also rules for the prevention of collisions at sea, according to which it is forbidden to get closer to the EMNIP of one cable system in order to avoid incidents. And something there with courses. It would be better if the sailors would answer this question

[domnich]

The problem of preventing incidents with warships at sea arose not yesterday, and more or less successfully, but was solved thanks to the good will of the Governments. The following is a fragment of the “Agreement between the Government of the USSR and the Government of the United States of America on the Prevention of Incidents on the High Seas and in the Airspace Above It” (Concluded in Moscow 25.05.1972) (as amended and extended by 1979 and 1986)

Article III
1. In all cases, ships operating close to each other, except when the ships need to maintain a constant heading and speed in accordance with MPPSS-72, must remain at a sufficient distance to avoid the risk of a collision.
2. Ships that encounter or operate close to the connection of ships of the other Side, in accordance with MPPSS-72, avoid such maneuvering that would make it difficult to maneuver with this connection.
3. Ship connections will not maneuver in areas of heavy shipping, where international ship traffic separation schemes have been put in place.
4. Ships monitoring other ships must be kept at a distance that eliminates the risk of collisions, as well as avoiding any maneuvers that impede action or endanger the ships being monitored. Except in cases where the observing ship must follow the same course and at the same speed in accordance with MPPSS-72, it will, in accordance with good marine practice, take early and confident actions so as not to interfere or endanger ships being monitored.
5. When maneuvering visually from each other, the ships of the Parties, in order to indicate their actions and intentions, must adhere to those signals (flag, sound and light) that are provided for in the MPPSS-72, the International Code of Signals, or other mutually agreed signals.
6. Ships of the Parties should not imitate attacks by turning guns, launchers, torpedo tubes and other types of weapons in the direction of the oncoming ship of the other Party, should not throw objects in the direction of the oncoming ships of the other Party, and should not use searchlights or other powerful lighting equipment for lighting the navigation bridges of oncoming ships of the other Side.

You are writing about a two-sided agreement and there is also maritime law, the Iranians ego brazenly violate the Persian Gulf but do not allow it in the Caspian.
