The Navy's 5th Fleet said three vessels from Iran's Revolutionary Guard had an "unsafe and unprofessional" encounter as the USS Sirocco and USNS Choctaw County transited Monday through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.

Wow pretty intense, the battle of Midway all over again there…

[MJG]

Oof haven’t seen war footage like this in my life. That encounter was so intense!

[dyam.]

Oh that was Very Tense. Lol. I just saw a tiny boat in the water.

“What did you do when you saw the naval ships?”
“Iran”

[chfaisalriaz]

Near Iran hundreds of miles from us what us navy doing out there

[Suedeifel]

What are those Persians doing sailing so close to their shore ! How dare they.

[TheMauricej]

We do the same when vessels are in our back yard as well right?

[Benzijune]

These bad Iranians!!

Ups and downs are inevitable in life.
The more favourable the situation,
the humbler we need to be.
Keep bitterness to ourselves
and leave happiness to others.

Where was the swarm? Did I miss the swarm behind the one ship, and not even know it? I mean, wow, that headline SAID "swarm." I always associate "swarm" as multiples of things. Does "swarm" pertain to bombastic headlines?

[FudaHouse]

What’s really funny is that their “war vessel” has outboard motors.

[desmondshorts]

NBC as always you didn't disappoint with your over embellishing..Spot on, and great job guys..

[worldofmix]

Wo what we can't patrol in our on backyard our own waterways?
HYPOCRISY
We should have do the same in Gulf of Mexico then fire a warning shot after US Cost guards came

[RedRedRed-]

Oh my god I’ve never seen such intense war footage before 😱

I remember back in Summer of 2019, I was on my way home back to the States with a connection in Dubai after visiting family in India for two weeks, I was on an Emirates overnight flight from Hyderabad to Dubai and mid flight we were somewhere near the Coast of Iran according to the flight map and I believe I saw 2-3 ships engulfed in flames from my flight view window, I'm not sure but it most definitely appeared that way!!!

[mfazeen]

It's like someone broke into my house and complaining about my presence in the house

[thewendigo]

The title of the video should be Iranian speedboats enjoying the weather

[Pitoling]

they honked the horn at the drunk boater ..INTENSE

Glad it didn’t escalate needlessly. Too much showboating (pun intended) in these comments. As an American, I just want you to know that not all Americans are as stupid or trigger-happy as you’ve been led to believe. There are always good and bad people on both sides. The world needs more love, not hate. Don’t Americans and Iranians both have families, love, loss, sickness, health, suffering?
