Reuters: Iranian Revolutionary Guards fired rockets near U.S. warships in Gulf: U.S.
Iranian Revolutionary Guards launched rockets near the U.S. aircraft-carrier Harry S. Truman and other warships as they were entering the Gulf on Saturday, giving only brief notice in a "highly provocative" act, a U.S. military spokesman said on Tuesday.
NBC News, citing unnamed U.S. military officials, said the Guards were conducting a live-fire exercise and the Truman came within about 1,500 yards (meters) of a rocket.
"The rockets were not fired at the Truman and other ships, only near them," the network said.
Several Revolutionary Guard vessels fired the rockets "in close proximity" of the warships and nearby merchant traffic "after providing only 23 minutes of advance notification," said Navy Commander Kyle Raines, spokesman for the U.S. Central Command.
"These actions were highly provocative, unsafe, and unprofessional and call into question Iran's commitment to the security of a waterway vital to international commerce," Raines said in an email.
WNU Editor: These rockets landed only 1,500 meters away from the aircraft carrier. Considering how big an aircraft carrier is .... this live fire exercise was done deliberately by the Iranians to provoke a reaction and to send a message. Interestingly .... the Iranian commander of the Revolutionary Guard navy was condemning the U.S. presence in the Persian Gulf only a few days ago .... Iranian Naval Chief Decries US Presence in Persian Gulf as 'Source of Conflict' (Algemeiner).
