Iranians say they were conducting a live fire exercise, but this seems like a very provocative act, with rockets coming within 1500 yards of the Harry S. Truman. What if we responded to a perceived act of aggression?
“These actions were highly provocative, unsafe, and unprofessional and call into question Iran’s commitment to the security of a waterway vital to international commerce,” Raines added. “While most interactions between Iranian forces and the U. Navy are professional, safe, and routine, this event was not and runs contrary to efforts to ensure freedom of navigation and maritime safety in the global commons.”
