I do not beleive to much at all that comes from Iran, Israel or the US
unless it is verified by several sources and lasts at least 3 days before being proven to be false or an exageration of the truth
Todays report on the event
US Navy unsure threat to warships was Iranian Posted 4 hours 21 minutes ago
Doubts raised: One of of the 'fastboats' during the stand-off with the American ships (US Navy)
The US Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain says there is "no way to know" if a threat radioed to US warships in the Strait of Hormuz came from Iranian speedboats, casting doubt on the earlier US version of Sunday's confrontation.
"There is no way to know where this (radioed threat) exactly came from. It could have come from the shore ... or another vessel in the area," Lieutenant John Gay said.
But he stressed that "the Iranian fast boats were acting in a very provocative and aggressive manner" towards the US warships in the strategic waterway at the time.
The United States has lodged a formal protest with the Iranian Government over the incident, in which Iranian speedboats confronted US Navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Pentagon released a video and audio tape on Tuesday that it said confirmed US charges that Iranian speedboats swarmed around US warships in and radioed a threat to blow them up.
In reply, Iran aired its own video of the incident.
The four-minute video broadcast by Iran's English-language channel Press-TV showed an Iranian commander in a speedboat contacting an American sailor via radio, asking him to identify the US vessels and state their purpose.
