DEVELOPING: Iranian Navy vessels fired shots at and boarded a Marshall Islands-flagged commercial container ship in the Strait of Hormuz Tuesday, a senior defense official told Fox News.
The Maersk Tigris ship – originally heading to Jebel Ali in the United Arab Emirates, is now being escorted by the Iranian Navy into waters near Bandar Abbas, home of Iran’s largest Navy base.
The USS Farragut, a guided missile destroyer, is making “best speed†en route to the area and has dispatched a helicopter to get a closer look, the official said.
Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, said the cargo ship's master had initially refused an Iranian order to move further into Iranian waters, but after the warning shots were fired the Maersk Tigris complied.
Warren said no one has been injured and no Americans are involved. The cargo ship issued a distress call and U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, based in the area.

This Administration obviously hasn't learned that words have meaning.
When you say that you don't expect a country to stop killing Americans and sponsoring terrorist organizations that do...they take you at your word and realize that they can do anything they want to and you won't stop them.

I'm sure that Obama will claim it was a misunderstanding or offer some other justification for Iran's actions.

I think I see a line over there somewhere...Barry dares people not to cross it...yep, there they go...
Barry's just been bitchslapped. A ringing bitchslap.
Apart from sending a destroyer over (but not to enter Iranian waters), we hear, of course, crickets...

It would be funny if it weren't true.
