Iranian Speedboats Approach USS Hopper

[gowdridge]

iran trying to provoke an international incident again so they can claim to be the victim again. pussies the lot of them. dangerous but pussies nonetheless

[TubularEnigma]

They will be in peddle-boats when they can't get their oil refined...how fast is that?

[SimpliztixX]

wheres their LRAD

[two0sixTay]

[WahrodernichtWahr]

[kicknbazz1615]

Yeah, i'd like to see you clowns drive up to the U.S.S. Hopper in a speedbot

[vahidovsky]

americans are gays of the world

[tholbrook89]

@vahidovsky and your a peice of shit

[Counterops34]

@vahidovsky Haha, Accepted by most and hated by the Ignorant yet look bold beautiful? Yea I agree,

[ChanceReed]

@vahidovsky And yet you call yourself gay, Hmpf think of your logic bud.

[PennyWisee14]

@vahidovsky lol.. They would crush you. Pussy

[336kgf]

Nothing a couple of F-18s loaded with Mavericks couldn't cure.

[Skandalos]

These guys think, because Europeans dont have balls, Americans gotta be the same.

[godblessthebest]

BLOW THEM STINKING IRAN BOATS OUT OF THE WATERS,,,,KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK US FORCES,THANK YOU , FROM ,AUSTRALIA,,STAY SAFE MATE,

[delaney12]

they should have just killed tehm and invaded iran too..this would have sparked conflict between the two contries a war would have broke out and iran would be dead by now...they were too close to those boats thats crazy..im surprised they didnt get vaporized

[BizmachiGuitar]

If no response, fire a warning shot or shots

[demon07nd]

its not the Iranians gulf we can go there any time we feel like it

[hugetird]

@demon07nd its not your gulf either

[bucnomore11]

@hugetird we have the bigger boat so they can fuck off or do something about it

[jezza1789]

LOL getting scared over speed boats

[TTDMFfreaknew]

@jezza1789 Ever hear of the attack on the USS Cole? Shut it.

[MixeTube]

@jezza1789

LOL you're an idiot. You can fit enough explosive in a speedboat to blow blow up 10 ships This size.

[dunno414]

its kinda like a few fleas trying to take out a bull mastiff

[arynpetersonful]

too bad politics play a role in war...

[bigbaba1111]

this are the pasdaran. the waffen SS of the mullahs. the US ship should sink them all and do a favour to the iranian people-.

[ToomuchBTUstoday]

Shot over the bow is always a good idea when dealing with potential suicide bombers.These speedboats know better.

[ross2694]

I just figured out what they were doing, I mean, did you see the size of the wake those motherfuckers made with those ships? Imagine the air you could get with a speed boat. Relax Navy, nothing wrong with a little water sport lol.

[fifh89]

rich kids+speed boats=lulz

[kbyecruzer]

Hmmmm.... Not the brightest speedboat operators in the world. "See that big grey thing? Yeah... It has canons that blast hundreds of pounds of explosives to places twenty miles away.... still wanna push your luck?"

[TheTattikarlo]

what the fuck are american warships doing in PERSIAN GULF , thousands mile away...

imagine a fishing boat with a non american flag flying top of it near miami beach and see these fatsos go hyper...

[ApolyonTheSoulRender]

@TheTattikarlo Assuring that we get the oil we buy.

[evilmuffen117]

@TheTattikarlo it is the closest body of water to afghan and iraq,we aren't going to put them in the pacific would we

[stryder050]

@TheTattikarlo

well it would first have to get near miami beach but lets pretend it was a cuban vessel that had no business being there, then they would get to meet the coast guard, and they got a pretty short fuse when it comes to suspicious ships entering our waters

[janmadytay]

Pesky little flys...

[HogansDisciple]

Not to bright. They must wanna end up like iraq.

[camry1971]

This reminds me of a video I saw on BBC, A cat attacking a crocodile!!!!..Iran's tail,ears and wings need to be clipped off though before it is too late ....

[DJBuckCallYo]

dav

[Rofocowboy84]

"I intend no harm," unless you piss me off, then you're toast, lol...

[timw1959]

Did they live?

[slovakmath]

americans are such pussies...they are just joy riding...is that illegal?

[JohnQRandom]

@slovakmath

And when you're not bitching about Americans, you're bitching about the jews. When you're not bitching about the jews, you're bitching about the muslims. When you're not bitching about the muslims, you're bitching about the gypsies.

Face it, all you do is bitch.

Shhhhhhh, hush...

[shalexAP]

@slovakmath no they are not allowed to get that close to an american warship, and they know. and don't call us pussies, when we were going tob low them away, and they also knew that

[GeneralHobog]

@slovakmath Only as legal as taunting someone with a shotgun in your face.

[cgamer2021]

@slovakmath Joyriding? Are you fucking retarded?

[ThierryVernon]

Israelis are doing this with german and french unifil forces on a daily bases.. and no one cars, so why here!?

[Trekkerjon]

What is all this talk of shooting people? We aren't at war with them.

[AlSuqmedique]

@Trekkerjon .. not yet ;) but very very soon...

[ANYONE3041937kyc]

Sink them next time!!! 

[sakoshooter48]

@shakeri84 Sure they would, you have an open invitation to try!

[antoniodigigov]

bando de cuzões !!!!!

[THETHOMASBOIS]

!!!!! FIRE!!!!!

[isision]

They are Scouting them.

[uzimodem]

i would have blown them to allah !!!!

[pensive69]

those fast boats have a pretty significant heat IR signature.

gunships find them easy to track.

[toootooot]

if i were the commander... i will definately fire at the speed boat... fucing retard raghead!

[xxwillxx13]

@toootooot their not called ragheads thay are called towelheads it sounds better and makes more sence

[OozingPie]

@xxwillxx13 If you're going to be racist, at least do so with grammar. If you are American, I am ashamed to have you in my country.

[armybeef68]

@xxwillxx13

no...they are called SHEET heads

and btw, LEARN HOW TO SPELL...JFC...have you EVER been to school?

[AmxCsifier]

this is California ?

[Norwegian73]

Should have shot them just for the hell of it. Fucking iranians.

[ww2footage]

do not forget it is near Iranian waters , so Americans are the problem there not Iranians

[liltrenchrat]

@ww2footage lol... we are there beacuse they are a problem to the world.

[j0elself]

Near Iranian waters? Woodrow Wilson's Freedom of the sea. International waters are for everyone

[zeke1312]

@shakeri84 Hmmm. reply from a Swede? Don't remember what you kats were doing in WWII or anytime for that matter. Some good lookin' cunts you have tho!

[ajd2466]

@shakeri84 thats pretty funny, the US has way more allies, and more dangerous allies at that, china wouldn't do shit to the US considering we buy most of their goods, they would be losing a huge dollar figure, think before you post stupid shit that everyone can read.

[CaliYoungGun1991]

fuck american pussy! go to mid east with a G ' and have naked bitches around you

[toocoolforu]

Harrasment, reminds me of last week clash with "peace" activists trying to break a military blockade LOL. those dumb muslims.

[BattleBornJackalope]

a GM buddy of mine was tenths of a second off from opening fire on these fools too bad he didnt have a trigger finger LOL

[xxmaximus213xx]

You gotta be an idiot to charge a U.S. warship on a little speedboat.......

[compute9]

@xxmaximus213xx i dont they had a pretty good shot........ OF GETTING BLOWN THE FUCK UP!

[1diesel1]

for any of you to young to remember Viet Nam went hot because of an incident very much like this one. It was called the "Gulf of Tonkin Incident"

[joejoeirish]

so? u gonna harp on that for another 40 years?

[probot65]

very close to nirvana- a cool hand ..

[iowa61]

The Revolutionary Guard Ass Clowns in those boats came VERY close to being vaporized...

[pureaccuracy]

hmm, i think they probably had some kind of plan involving getting the americans to shoot them. trying to provoke your enemy into doing something so that the government looks better saying 'HEY GUYS WE GOT ATTACKED SO NOW WE FIGHT BACK AMERICAN IS PIG LOL' or along those lines

[grestch1000]

@iowa61 roger that ...they must allready be dead. to pull a stunt like that ..

[gtq838]

@iowa61 thats what I was thinking

[robrod007]

If a next time, take a couple shot over his bow. That should get them to go the other way. If not, show them Atlantis underwater. U.S.A.!!

[FelchBelcher]

WOW the "Persian" navy has a bass boat flotilla. I suppose the next question is if they can get an atomic bomb in a Cesna 150.

[juanecheyt]

a Ticonderoga class aegis cruiser like that could have blown them away in a fraction of a second.

Unfortunately for guys like mr triggerhappy here.... laws and diplomacy do exist.

You cannot blow up everything you see just because you're american.

And about your taxes...... believe it or not... they were doing the best thing they could to keep them safe.... every shell of ammo is paid with your taxes.... they cannot be wasted on "suspicious" targets.

[carcano38]

Week leadership in action. In all likelyhood the gunners on the ships had orders NOT to fire even if attacked. The weak people at the top aren't on the ships but D.C. ..... They would rather have one or two of these ship hit than offend someone of a different religon or that's non-white.

[0ooiioo0]

bbbbooooorrrriiiiinnnnnggggg

[popeye1250]

Open fire on them!

WTF are we paying our military for to be social workers and "arrest" pirates???

[manicman108]

@popeye1250 you know its the law that you cant fire on someone unless they fire first or your 100% sure they bring harm

[redfirekla]

@popeye1250 exactly wtf are the waiting for to get blown up by kamikazee boats.... they should've toasted them boats all they would need is 50 cal

[travieboyxxx2001]

@redfirekla They're in international waters...you start wars by pullin dumb stunts like that!

[EFDragon]

Arrest them with bullets.

[carnivalcruiseman94]

HA! wow they schould have just blown them up

[nartfocker]

An easy way to meet them virgins .......

[Rileyman2rr]

@nartfocker yeah they were asking for a couple 5 inchers if you ask me, sigh i wish Iran would just freaking straighten up.

[SaadattheHammerhand]

@nartfocker hey idiot those are talibans who are interested in virgings we are only interested in american pussy!

[jamesdewer]

@nartfocker hella easy way to meet them virgins.

[alexpeters]

@nartfocker Imagine if American speed boats were curious of Iranian warships that were on their coast. Would you want your ass blasted in that speed boat...didn't think so. Hypocrites!

[MrThorzach]

@alexpeters

ok, now if you in that warship and a SPEEDBOAT! that could possibly be packed with explosives is getting close to do you put your life and others in there hands. no you blow them to pieces because its fucking war

[0219mike]

these guys are just fishin

[qwertyuiopm250]

i found this hilarious when i first saw this,the iranians in speed boats trying to provoke the americans lol stupid twats

[apbound25ave]

fuck iran,iraq all middle east u wanna fuk wit da big boys u funna get blown outta water usa usa usa

[softairFrank]

iranian dogs bark again

nothing behind it anyway

[kskashe]

@softairFrank

Im iranian so i know exactly whats behind their tactics and mentality

they're basically trying to provoke the americans by charging them because they know they're firepower is inferior and they'd get wasted in a second. But their hopes are that they'll get blown up, made into martyr's for their country and they'll justify some BS reason for retaliation so STFU army boy acting like u know wtf your talking about. go play with your stupid gay airsoft guns or something

[rockeruss555]

@kskashe ok, sounds like fun!... but first, do you have a good recipe to lasagna?....

[VagabondOracle]

Incredible that we were able to dissuade them without shooting down a passenger airliner.

[592220]

That was true before we had a presence in Iraq. Now we don't have to ask the pussy French for fly-over permission to run night raids in Iran, we are mere minutes away in Iraq. Also we have the preliminary bases in Afghan - Iran is surrounded. Of course, what we don't have is a real man with the balls in the WH to pull the trigger. He/She would prefer engaging them with a state ball and talking them to death. We now know his silver tongue spews tarnish

[Andrewstubeaccount3]

@592220 no one cares faggot

[suspendmeassholes]

No one is going to engage the Iranians. It would make the USA into a 3rd world country within months. Israel is not going to engage either. They know that Iran has the ability to stop the oil flow out of the gulf which would have a very negative impact on the West. The US can't deal with Iran right now. It can barely deal with it's unemployment and national debt. If the Arabs start selling oil in Euros or Pounds, the USA will lose a lot of their power. It's not as simple as blowing up boats.

[Nascarfever]

oil wouldnt be a issue at all if the democrats would allow the drilling of oil in the montana regions where the most oil since the find in alaska is there is 10times more oil there then in the mideast

[1Gaumer]

... there is some oil here but i don't think there is all that much

[Assaut19283]

@suspendmeassholes You have a point but you are worng with one thing. Someone will attack the Iranians. And it's Israil.

[brutal6agani]

Or America and Britian can send it a S.A.S and special OPs into the nuclear facility and end the whole story....

[Catchaspoon]

Haha, you really think the United States would sit back let Iran do that? No. Do you know what happened last time someone did that? Pearl Harbor. No country, with the means to retaliate would just sit there and get choked off.

[rick0289]

chemical and smoke rounds would have make their driving harder... and would have been fun to watch on thermal.... pepper spray bursts!

[steeltoedentist]

too right gatman... it's this kind of stupid arrogance that makes the invasion imminent. all I have to say is " mini-gun" in response to the speedboats.

[marieloutje]

kill this iranians fuckers!!!!

[MusicScoutMunich]

kill this FUCKING PIECE OF HITLERS ASS

[AlecANDleckan]

Did they fire warning shots? The US that is?

[1776usaalltheway]

ragheads waved that right....when they attacked the USS Cole

[TheGatman101]

stupid iranians..... they think speedboats and crappy missiles will save them.... very soon marine landing craft will be hitting the beaches of iran..... backed by air support and a land assault from east in iraq and west in afghan

[CPLDeadly]

iran doesnt have bloody shores...

[doodahead1]

Hey genius, Iran is in the Persian Gulf. It probably has a couple hundred miles of coast. I don't think Iranians would have speed boats if they didn't have shores. Use your brain man....

[bigman95impala]

true true true, that is the Israelis dont bomb the snot out of them b4 we get there

[qunniq]

should have sunk those jack asses

[cowwithoutleg]

If a sizeable fleet of those boats had hostile intent that could develop into a very harry situation for only 1 deck gun and a few .50cals. They let that one boat get awful close. Anyone know if the vulcans can be used against surface craft?

[GulfDiver25]

I am somewhat nostalgic for the old battleships, like the last Iowa class that served in the gulf. You can bet no "speed" boat on earth would dare approach six 5 inch guns, nine 16 inch turrets, eight tomahawk cruise missile launchers, four quad torpedolaunchers and 4 vulcan mini guns.

We really need to bring back the battleship, it may be vulnerable but it projects an incredible image of power.

[ZOTOBICRBOT]

US NAVY go out of Persian Gulf, THEY ARE INVADERS

[jasong19711]

Use that 5 inch deck gun on them!

[tassoss1]

Hey they are from the Iranian Jackass show

[Toronto1974ever]

The Iranians were just pulling the tiger's tail that's all. The Hopper could of sank everyone of the speedboats.

But cooler heads saved the day. I think that if they got any closer, the Captain would of had to get permission to open up.

Then those speedboats would of been no more. If the MK45 would of locked on to the boats, they would be mere splinters in the water.

[thecrazygene1]

u really think that boat would of survived long ? their in the persian gulf , there is alot of iran military over there

[redfirekla]

the iranian navy forces would've been ocean debree within hours the rest of them would've shit their pants and ran towards land

[oded999191]

shame to the us navy ! ! ! you shuld fry them in one second ! if on of the small boat had a bomb the USS was damaged .

[killgore302]

International maritime law basically says you have to keep a distance from any military vessel or your at risk or getting blown to shit. Look it up...

[finchiestiffler79]

what the fuck you guys even doing off the iranian coast? how do you like foreign warships off the coast of miami?

[fisherking100]

ever heard of international waters cocksucker!

[proaudiohd]

They know an american warship firing on an unarmed civilian pleasure boat in Iran would certainly start some shit.. they're testing, they're taunting. "what ya gonna do? shoot us?"

[Andrewstubeaccount3]

fucking savages were looking for trouble, do they want a war in iran or something?

[Dentzer81]

The should of killed all them.

[nthbubba614]

they should have blown them to fucking pieces

[Rennpanzer]

For what, being in the same ocean?  They're in little, fiberglass, nothing boats that pose little, if any, threat to a steel-hulled war ship. Those things are a joke to the USN and hardly worth the ammo.

[ckfgymnast]

ohh yea lets let them run into us with a huge bomb or fire rpgs???

[ouangel81]

Ya tell that to the USS Cole

[GrayFoxNull006]

@Rennpanzer A few rounds into the little boat comming at the USS Cole could have saved alot of lives. Oh but saving lives is just wasting ammo. My bad.

[niceonebuckner]

@GrayFoxNull006 ----What lives are you talking about? Nobody lost their life, you should watch the whole video, those speedboats were harassing them but they didn't open fire. Glad the Cole didn't either, as that would just present Iran the opportunity to make propoganda. Not to say that there aren't situations in which eliminating a threat is required, this just wasn't one of them

[Musketnpistol]

Kunjidee, didnt seem like the Americans were very scared to me but seeing as you think they were do you also think that besause you claim to be a canuck that trash in those boats mean no harm to you ? because if you do you are to stupid to be let out on your own as you are not smart enough to recognize danger

[IRVINIRVANA]

dude how stupid can u be?

do you know how terrorists dress? they dress like civilians, and they can be anywhere or be any nationality

[Galdyjahyr]

That was stupid enough to get blown the fuck UP!!!! Lucky the US Forces forgave them...

[ArkonDrakk]

Any closer and they would have been drift wood.

[tree25is]

nice!

[blackcatzz]

should have just blew them out of the water and asked questions later

[abshir9]

how

[cesnitry]

nazi

[pvtread]

@blackcatzz lol, as much as that would have been cool, there are rules, and they are do not fire unless fired upon.

[kunjidee]

those were fast little speedboats!...no wonder the americans were so scared...hehehe

[ping1800]

That Aegis Cruiser should have lit one of them up.

[JsDs1020]

look its the talibans navy hahaha

[b1LANCE]

lol

[three2do1]

they appear to be in Iranian waters. Of course someone is going to come and check them out! what if an Iranian warship was off the coast of America? durrr brains

[Airborne80]

Uuuuuhhhhhh we would not send out row boats to investigate. How about war ships ya cockbag? hahahahaha.

[racingrec]

Iran Claims the entire gulf....

[spiceyvideo]

Terrorists were going to do some water skiing.

[1kr]

so wait. what were they doing again?

[ashkanmosavi]

should have done a 9/11 on those 2 fu cking ships .....driven to big ass planes in them kamakaze style ......fucking white trashes what the fuck are they doing next to me beloved coast

[ThrashNnash]

Kickin the shit out of it in the name of the Ultimate Human force The United States military.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

[lfcbacapital]

a tu señora!!!! le habran kickin her ass a ajajaaj!! idiot..

[aurash91]

god can suck my let nut

[jq68]

would have blown those iraqi boats out of the water like fleas on a dog that they are. but no, we are the more civilized yet again.

[birdwingsvids]

Iranian, no Iraqi dumb ass.

[shysterlicious]

Maybe I'm missing something. but from the video it would appear that these speedboats got very close to American naval vessels. Much too close if you're the enemy.

How did we ever let the Iranians get so close without opening up on their sorry asses?

[jocrook2]

This happened to us when I was on the USS Bainbrigde during the first Gulf war in 90/91 except it was a Iranian fighter and he was locking on to us with his fire control radar. Did we do anything? No! It was nice to know that the powers that be were more worried about offending them than our lives. This kind of thing happens all the time.

[naughtyfeline]

shyster: The answer to your question about how the Iranians got so close is pretty simple.

The US Media would go berserk if we sank the boats (At least with George Bush still in office.) when they violated the space of a US warship. The UN would probably have a fit as well.

Someday one of these fuckers will attack one of our ships and kill sailors. Why? Because they know they can get as close as they want.

[m61393]

scare of iran ?

[jimbobillybob1202]

i know, its like what fuck, Oh my god its iranian speed boats, its fucking ww3 call the in the calvery

[davidmadigan]

its not ww3!

[CripesAMighty]

Anyone remember the USS Cole?

[HeavyMetal1981Fan]

lol

[Krait99]

Come on, just a few Iranians out for a bit of water skiing.

I don't see what the big deal was, they were going to do a pyramid too until imperialist USA screwed up their practice!

[zycan]

hahaha

[cf80to01]

You will never see this on Arab tv. If I were the American Captain I would have ordered weapons engagement.... I guess that is why he is the Captain and I am not.

[BoneBone2012]

Hell yea me too, especially what happened in Yemen or wherever it was I dont remember.

[michaelwright999]

Knock them to hell all 5 boats.

[everseenone]

XD did you know that USA DESTROYED OVER 80 boats/tanks/airplanes/choppers of them seelfs out of RUSH and kild the crew and OVER 1000 civilain cars because of carless ness (btw all people did)
