Iranians Victorious In Standoff with USA?

This is what Iran showed up with to “intimidate” the US Navy?
“Iran wins another battle in the war with the US.” say some in Iran. One must admit that Iran wanted this confrontation against the “oppressive Americans.” But it seems that Iranians are not as crazy as Bin Ladens boys. If this was a suicide mission it was a failure. But it wasn’t a suicide mission because the minute the Iranians thought they would be meeting the 72 Virgins they turned and bolted. The Persian Kings must be spinning in their tombs. The Persian spirits must be saying “what kind of enemy does not blow those idiots out of the water” see video

The Americans were seconds away from defending themselves when the boats, operated by Iran’s hardline Revolutionary Guard, turned away at the last possible moment. They were en route to the Gulf early on Sunday morning when the Iranian boats dashed to within 200 yards. One radioed to the frigate: “We’re coming at you and you’ll explode in a couple of minutes.” The implication was that the speedboat crews were on a suicide mission. “They sped over the waves in front of the American vessels dropping boxes which the U.S. Navy thought could contain mines.” DM
