Iran, US warships high-voltage encounter in the Middle East Middle East News

Iran has not commented on the Persian Gulf incident, it was the first such meeting since last April.

American and Iranian warships have had a tense encounter in Gulf waters earlier this month as the first such event in a year is due to the turbulent nuclear deal in Tehran and widespread unrest in the region, the U.S. military said Tuesday.

The film, released by the Navy on April 2, showed a ship commanded by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran (IRGC) being cut off in front of the USCGC Monomoy, and the U.S. Coast Guard ship suddenly stopped burning.

The IRGC did the same with another Coast Guard vessel, the USCGC Wrangell, said Commander Rebecca Rebarich, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Navy’s 5th Middle East Fleet.

Iran did not immediately acknowledge the incident, which did not result in any injuries or damage.

“U.S. crews issued numerous warnings via bridge radio from the bridge, five short explosions from the horns of ships, and while (Iranians) Harth 55 responded to radio-to-bridge radio inquiries, they continued unsafe maneuvers.” Rebarich said.

“After the U.S. issued a warning for about three hours and made defensive maneuvers, the (Iranian) ships moved away from U.S. ships and opened the distance between them,” Rebariach added.

“Safe and unprofessional” events

Rebarich said the interaction was “unsafe and unprofessional” in Iran since April 15, 2020.

Iran largely stopped these incidents in 2018 and almost the entire 2019, he said.

In 2017, the U.S. military recorded 14 cases described as “unsafe or unprofessional” interactions with Iranian forces. He recorded 35 in 2016, and 23 in 2015.

Incidents at sea are almost always involved in the IRGC, and Ali Khamenei is given only to Iran’s supreme leader.

This weekend, leachate recordings surfaced where Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was heard saying that the IRGC had often sabotaged Tehran’s efforts, that the IRGC-led “rural operations” never wanted to pave the way for diplomacy, even though Iran was in talks that eventually led to the 2015 nuclear deal . they removed multilateral sanctions with world powers.

Iranian forces are covering the 2016 incident catch it and hold it from one day to the next 10 U.S. sailors entered Iranian waters.

The incident comes just like Iran negotiates with world powers In order to revive the 2015 nuclear deal in Vienna, former US President Donald Trump withdrew and re-imposed sanctions on Iran.
