Iranian gunboats fire on tanker in Hormuz strait
Iranian gunboats fired on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, a British maritime security agency reported, after Iran's military reversed a pledge to open the route to shipping.
The tanker's captain reported being approached 37 kilometers (23 miles) northeast of Oman by two gunboats of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC). Without any radio warning, the gunboats "then fired upon the tanker", the UK Maritime Trade Operations Centre said in an online statement.
"Tanker and crew are reported safe. Authorities are investigating."

As Evil as they are, I cannot believe how stupid they are as well. The US will blow those silly gunboats out of the water, soon.
