U.S. Contracted Ship Fires on Iranian Boat
QuestionGirl April 25th, 2008 - 11:32 amBreaking………. here we go.
A ship contracted by the U.S Military Sealift Command has fired at least one shot toward an Iranian boat, a U.S. defense official said Friday.
“It was an MSC vessel,” the official said, confirming the ship fired on an Iranian boat.
Other details were not immediately available.
And we heard this from Mullens this morning:
The Pentagon sharpened its warnings about Iran on Friday, saying Tehran had boosted its support for Iraqi militias fighting U.S. troops and that Washington had military options to force Iran to stop. (emphasis mine)
Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the military had evidence Iran was sending new weapons to Iraqi insurgents despite Tehran’s commitment to the government in Baghdad that it would halt such support.

If they were in international waters (it’s been reported they were) why the warning shots? Don’t the Iranian boats have a right to be in international waters?
