SHOTS FIRED: America VS Iran – This Is About To Get Messy…

I haven’t seen anything about this on the MSM, but I think that this is so important to get out there because it could mean something HUGE to America.

If this blows up, it could almost make certain a Donald Trump[1] Presidency, because nobody trusts Hillary Clinton to protect the United States.

From Allen B. West:

Trouble in paradise between President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry’s new BFF, Iran, has erupted this week.

As Col. West mentioned earlier, it appears that four Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps Navy vessels were in close pursuit of a U.S. Guided Missile Destroyer in the Persian Gulf near the Straits of Hormuz — “harassing” the USS Nitze. Reports are that the Iranian ships came within 300 yards of our vessel, which had to undertake evasive maneuvers.

And today, the tensions between the US Navy and Iran’s appears to have escalated further.

Fox News[4] has more:

A U.S. Navy coastal patrol ship fired warning shots at an Iranian ship that sailed within 200 yards in the Northern Persian Gulf Wednesday in the second close call 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.

In the earlier incident[5], four Iranian small boats “harassed” the USS Nitze Tuesday, sailing near the guided missile destroyer in the Persian Gulf, a U.S. Navy official told Fox News. The U.S. Navy described the incident as “unsafe and unprofessional” and said it occurred in international waters in the narrow Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. Navy video of the incident showed American sailors on the Nitze firing flares and sounding the warship’s horn as the Iranian boats approached. The official said the Nitze was ultimately forced to change its course to avoid the Iranian ships, despite coming close to offshore oil rigs.

Earlier, U.S. Adm. John Richardson said the incident involving the Nitze reflected the greater competition the U.S. was facing at sea and underscored the naval tensions with Tehran, which include other similar incidents.

Could this be the beginning of something huge, or is this a one-off situation? Let us know in the comments.
