Don't know why yet, but here's what there is so far. I'm curious if there they're a bit trigger happy due to the attacks in January especially if the Iranian boat was approaching them in an agressive manner. Guess we'll have to wait and see. Then, of coures, sift through the different stories later and try to figure out the real truth. :rolleyes:

At least one shot fired, defense official says; details not immediately known.

 

WASHINGTON - A cargo ship contracted by the U.S Military Sealift Command has fired at least one shot toward an Iranian boat, a U.S. defense official said on Friday.

 

"It was an MSC vessel," the official said, confirming the ship fired on an Iranian boat.

 

Other details were not immediately available. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain did not have any immediate comment.
