This is a short video that shows what happened recently in the Persian Gulf.

Iranian Attack Boats Harass U.S. Warships in Persian Gulf - YouTube


This is what POTUS ordered in response:

Trump instructs US Navy to shoot and 'destroy' Iranian ships harassing US ships


It will be interesting to see what the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy does next.

Shooting wars are a sure fire way to jump start the economy.

Note his tweet said he wants the Navy to "shoot down" their gunboats. Can't wait to see the video of flying gunboats being shot down.

The IRGC also operates fighter jets etc, and are technically referred to as the "Aerospace Force of the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution." An air or missle attack would be the more likely venue of attack against US ships. The little gunboats would be easy to destroy., All of these military forces report directly to the Islamic theocrats who run the show, and their basic function is to protect the regime.

The late commander of the IRGC was Qasem Soleimani, reviled by most but still missed by some. If you recall, the tweeter you're referring to was the guy who had him smoked by a US drone.

Boats usually sink after holes are poked in them.

Sink: to descend, drop, go down under the suface

That's typically where ships that are sunk, by gunfire or other means, end up.

Here's 2 words that describe Iran's military capacity-------Saddam Hussein, who had a military force 10 times as strong as Iran. How many days did it take to obliterate Iraq?????
