Iran to U.S.: Keep Your Aircraft Carrier Out of the Gulf >>> “We are not in the business of warning the Americans more than once.”

Jon Scott and Leland Vittert brought us some breaking news out of the Middle East regarding new warnings from Iran to the United States.


Iran’s naval chief issued a new warning today demanding that the U.S. not to return its aircraft carrier to the Gulf. Specially, the area in question is the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for 1/6th of the world’s oil supply.


The warnings from Iran come as tension are rising in the Gulf with the Iranian Navy firing a new cruise missile and two shorter-range missiles Monday.
In response, Leland Vittert reports that the Pentagon has acknowledged that the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet does have an aircraft carrier in the area, the U.S.S. John C. Stennis.


Vittert added that the U.S. Navy says it will send whatever ships it wants, whenever it wants, for whatever reason it wants, through the Strait of Hormuz. He also added some perspective to the warnings, saying that the Iranian naval chief has been full of bravado throughout all of this claiming, “We are not in the business of warning the Americans more than once.”
