US ship fires warning shot in encounter with Iranian boat: Pentagon

The Pentagon says a US Coast Guard vessel has fired a warning shot after a tense encounter with an Iranian fishing boat in the Persian Gulf.

On Tuesday, Pentagon officials claimed that the Coast Guard patrol vessel Monomoy fired the warning shot after a machine gun on the Iranian dhow aimed at US forces.

"The dhow's crew trained and prepared to fire a .50 caliber machine gun on their small boat as it approached as part of a routine maritime security operation," the US Navy said in a statement.

"This action by the dhow's crew demonstrated hostile intent," the statement added.

Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby told reporters that the fishing boat pulled away following the shot and nobody was hurt.

He claimed the Coast Guard vessel was on a "routine maritime security operation."

Iranian officials have yet to comment on the incident.

nice job in thwarting the threat of a fishing boat :lol:

interestingly , when iranian navy buzzes their A$$ off and humiliates them on a daily basis in PG , they claim the encounters are "professional" and iranian navy is one of the most professional navies they had encountered :lol:

but they are super powers when it comes to fishing boats :lol: :lol:

Funny thing is , the fishing boat replied with a machine gun and did'nt even respond to their radio commands :toast_sign:

:omghaha:

heck even the civilians do'nt give a shyte to them :shout:

awesome job :D

iranian military officials are yet to respond
 
China and now Iran?? :what:

What they are up to?
i donno , what i now is that even a fishing boat OWNED their A$$ :lol::lol::lol: :enjoy:

iranian fishing boats are given machine guns by IRIN for self-protection against pirates :)

the crew fired shots when US ship tried to inspect them , and they didnt even reply to their radio screams :enjoy:
 
WTH is US Coast Guard vessel doing in Persian Gulf!!!???
iran navy should sink that F***ing coast guard vessel for their action in the region were USCG have no jurisdiction. coast guard is for guarding the cost of their own country not for shooting fishermen in half way across their country.

Your article says they trained a .50 machine on the Coast Guard vessel and the the CG fired a warning shot. The fishing boat with a .50 machine took off. They never fired back.

Persian Gulf is not US Coast- Go home USCG you are drunk-

Maybe you should looked up what the Coast Guard does besides protecting our coast. And this is not the first time buddy.

Should they? Its under the U.S. Navy control, wouldn't want to call in the rest of the fleet?
