A U.S. Navy coastal patrol ship fired three warning shots at an Iranian ship that sailed within 200 yards in the Northern Persian Gulf Wednesday after one of four close calls this week involving U.S. and Iranian vessels, a U.S. official confirmed to Fox News on Thursday.

The USS Squall fired the shots, according to the official.

On Tuesday, four Iranian small boats "harassed" the USS Nitze, sailing near the guided missile destroyer in the narrow Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. Navy official told Fox News.

Gee, you'd think after $400 million in ransom, and another $1.3 billion released from impound, the Iranians might be a little nicer.

    One warning shot at 1,000 yards then fire for effect- center of mass on the Iranian vessels. If the Navy is not allowed to do this due to civilian mandated ROE’s then the Navy needs to say so to the public.
    Perhaps the Navy needs to ask the USAF if they can help protect the Navy by using A-10’s. 🙂

    Ol’ RK covers that part, too.

    But we’ve proved it again and again,
    That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
    You never get rid of the Dane.”

    URR, that same poem occurred to me. Agree we can’t expect “nice” after giving them lots of goodies.
    Ron, you really want to see dead bodies, don’t you? We went through this crap all the time during the Cold War, or did you forget?
    Warning shots are fine. Heck, with this administration I’m surprised the Captain didn’t get a reprimand.
