WASHINGTON - Iranian Revolutionary Guard gunboats harassed three U.S. Navy warships in the Strait of Hormuz Sunday, in what the U.S. military considers a "significant provocative act."

Military officials told NBC News that two U.S. Navy destroyers and one frigate were heading into the Persian Gulf through the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz when five armed "fast boats" of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard approached a high speed, darting in and out of the formation. 

At one point a radio message from one of the Iranian boats warned, "You are going to blow up within minutes."

The Navy warships went into defensive mode, radioed the usual warnings to steer clear, and in the end no shots were fired.  U.S. military warships believe the Revolutionary Guard boats were "testing our defenses," the officials said.

1. As a former squid, stationed on a guided missle cruiser for 4 years, I can neither confirm nor deny, (lol) that a guided missle platform such as the three ships in question, (the other two were a destroyer and a frigate) pack enough fire power to level a small town,(or worse if boomers were on board)and some raghead navy sent by ahmennadumbass to test us would have had their prospective rectums blown over their big towel heads, had the captains been authorized to TCOB. I have seen some of those little boats when I was in, and all we did was point 50 cal's at them and they wetted their panties and went crying to mama.....If they actually attack, it would be like a richard simmons taking on the undertaker or stone cold steve austin, some ones gonna get the pimp hand up side the head, spanked like a bitch.......IF YOU SMELLLLLLL........WHAT THE ROCK....IS COOKING.....lol...riff
