CNN is now reporting that another Iranian “fast attack craft” harassed two Navy ships and a Kuwaiti ship in the north Arabian Gulf yesterday. This is NOT the same incident we showed you yesterday.
In this instance, the USS Squall had to fire warning shots at the Iranian attack craft after it came within 200 yards:

CNN reports that the attack craft was circling the two Navy ships as well as a Kuwaiti vessel and that the US Navy followed Maritime procedure in trying to contact the harassing craft. They also fired flares into the air as well.
But even after a short conversation with the Iranians, the craft persisted in their harassment and the USS Squall then fired fired warning shots into the water.
