CNN’s lead story this afternoon: “Five Iranian Revolutionary Guard boats "harassed and provoked" three U.S. Navy ships early Sunday in international waters, the U.S. military said Monday, calling the encounter a "significant" confrontation.”The corrected lead should have been written this way: “The US Navy allowed five vessels of the Iranian Navy to cavort to within 200-yards while in international waters today, but restrained from answering the Iranians' provocative maneuvers with cannon fire.”
It was a significant confrontation, alright, in that the US warships decided not to vaporize the Iranian boats.
