In the past month, a Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) boat has come dangerously close to a United States Navy vessel three times.

Well, it happened AGAIN Sunday, according to two Pentagon officials who alerted Reuters on Tuesday.

The report states that an Iranian “fast attack craft” went right up to the Americans (about 100 yards) which caused the red, white and blue warship to act.

Once again, from Reuters:

The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Iranian vessel sailed directly in front of the USS Firebolt, forcing the 174-foot (53-metre) U.S. ship to change course.

The interaction was “unsafe and unprofessional due to lack of communications and the close-range harassing maneuvering,” one of the officials said, adding that uncovered and manned weapons were seen on the Iranian vessel.

The U.S. ship tried to communicate with the Iranian ship by radio three times but received no response.

The incident began when seven Iranian ships “harassed” the Firebolt, U.S. officials said.

The U.S. official said there have been 31 similar interactions with Iranian ships this year, almost double the amount from the same period last year.

“We don’t see this type of unsafe and unprofessional activity from any other nation,” the official added.

In case you forgot, shots were fired in a similar situation in August.
