Maybe next time.
It must be so embarrassing:
Pentagon shoots down reports that Iranian ships are leaving Yemen
The Pentagon said Thursday that a nine-ship Iranian convoy remains in the waters around Yemen, 200 miles away from a U.S. aircraft carrier, despite reports that it was turning back.
"What I will confirm is that they remain in the region. They have not announced their intentions and we continue to monitor their activities," said Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren.
However, Warren said he could not confirm the specific direction that the convoy of cargo ships was heading.
"Ships can change direction at any time so I don't want to characterize exactly what they're doing," he said. "Let it develop a little bit. If we see a pattern we'll you know."
Iran sent the nine-ship convoy to the waters around Yemen last week. A U.S. official told The Hill that some of the ships contained weapons, presumably to resupply the Shia Houthi rebels that Iran has provided military support to in the past.
In addition, Warren confirmed reports that an additional two Iranian ships — which deployed April 8 but had been in the region — had arrived in the Gulf of Aden.
Contrary to American Neo-Con news reports, there will be no "war". Its a Presidential Election Year. LOL!
