Iranian Revolutionary Guards were flexing their muscles at American forces when they fired rockets that splashed down 1,500 feet from the USS Harry S. Truman.
It is not the first time Iran has caused trouble in the straight of Hormuz. In 1988, Iran planted mines and ended up damaging a US Navy ship. The Navy ended up sinking several Iranian ships in response.
There was much back and forth between the Iranian and US forces after the exercise pertaining to it’s legitimacy and the motives behind such an aggressive demonstration.
The events cast an even longer shadow over President Obama’s allegedly flimsy deal with Iran over it’s nuclear ambitions.
The reports suggest Iran is feeling unrestrained by the deal and are confident they can test the limits of their belligerence without serious consequences.

“After the 1,500 missiles were deployed,” Deleted several references to 1500 rockets. There was nowhere near that many fired…but one landed 1500 feet from an aircraft carrier
Don’t worry Obama will put down a red line
Nice comment Danny add me up I will love to know you better
Iran knows our spineless leader will not do a thing about this. Even if the ship was hit. I honestly believe this. I often wonder, just whose side is he on?
Iran should be wiped off the map.
Get those planes off the deck and into the air…fully armed!
Not the US or he would NOT have signed nothing with that pos country.
and the anti-missile ship defense didn’t shoot it down? Why or why not?
Well our leader doesn’t scare anyone.
Like I said Ww3 for 2016 Obama does not leave office no constitution no rights no guns starting this year
