The disclosure of the daily encounters follows the release of video footage by the Iranian military that claims to show a reconnaissance mission over an American aircraft carrier stationed in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps “drones have carried out such missions many times; although the drone remains for a long time above the [American crew’s] heads, they didn’t notice it,” reported Iran’s state-controlled media at the time, according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute. “In some cases, [the American crew] did notice the IRGC drone awhile after the filming and tried to drive it off by sending a helicopter or fighter jet after it.” Source: National Security News
When questioned about the authenticity of the footage, the Pentagon official told the WFB that Iran routinely conducts surveillance missions and that U.S. Navy personnel are well aware of them.
“The Iranians’ primary purpose for approaching U.S. forces is for ISR [Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance] so these interactions are almost always characterized by the presence of Iranian photographers capturing photos and video,” the official noted.
The United States also films these encounters, the Pentagon official added. The Iranian boasts are noted in the article here.
“During these interactions we, too, capture imagery for the record,” the official said. “Safe, professional, and routine interactions are of no concern, and we are fully confident in the ability of U.S. Naval forces to defend themselves. We also publicly acknowledge those interactions with the Iranians which we consider to be unsafe.”
Oh no its not! The nuclear ‘deal’ should have required ALL of the money to be deposited into the registry of the International Court in The Hague, pending a two year period allowed for the filing of claims by countries, businesses, military dead and injured and individuals who have valid claims. That is the way it is always done when you have any en$#%&!@*y which has intentionally caused m$#%&!@*ive harm including through negligence like the BP oil spill in the US gulf. The USA and US citizens would be the largest claimants. That option is is still open with the filing of cl$#%&!@* action lawsuits from around the globe. You might try talking about something you have a clue about.
