Iran Navy Harasses U.S. Ships in Persian Gulf
(AFP) Iranian Navy speed boats harassed U.S. naval vessels in two recent incidents in the Strait of Hormuz, a senior U.S. defense official said. In the first incident, three Iranian Navy speed boats rapidly approached within 500 yards of the USS New Orleans, an amphibious transport ship, as it was sailing last week through the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf. The second incident involved the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Adak off the Kuwaiti coast, similarly approached by an Iranian speedboat.
