| Iran denies threat to blow up US ships |
| 2008-01-09 |
| Iran on Tuesday rejected US charges that its naval forces threatened to blow up American ships in the Strait of Hormuz, amid renewed tensions ahead of US President George W Bush’s visit to the region. US defence officials said five speedboats from the naval forces of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards menaced three US warships in the strategic waterway on Sunday, radioing a threat to blow them up. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice described the incident as “provocative” and “dangerous”, amid fears such an isolated encounter could spark a major confrontation between the two foes. |

| #6 Next time they come out, sink them and air drop the bodies onto their presidential palace. Then deny sinking them and claim it was Allens' will that teleported the bodies there. |

| #5 I have got to think that the Iranians were hoping to catch a smaller craft working with the larger vessels and capture it ala Brits. Good thing that didn't happen or San Fran Nan and Harry Reid would have been on the next plane to Qom to surrender. |
