Tell your propaganda ministry to do their stuff right.

"US denies sea clash - ***8216;Iranians rescued***8217;

KUWAIT CITY, March 6: The US Navy has denied reports that its forces fired on a boat with six Iranians onboard near Kuwaiti territorial waters on March 5, killing four, wounding one and leaving one mariner unaccounted.

The article, dated March 6 in the Arab Times, that reported the incident from an unnamed source in Al-Shahed newspaper, is unequivocally false and unfounded, according to Lt Rebecca Rebarich, Media Officer for COMUSNAVCENT, US Fifth Fleet based in Bahrain."

A dhow sank in a storm, and some of the seamen were rescued by the US. I hope Israel did not fire the rockets yet ?

A boat sank. A sailor was rescued. Several bodies recovered. No shots fired as far as the US is concerned. Iran continues railing on about the Great Satan...

Wouldn't they be surprised to find out that the U.S. actually works for a series of Lesser Satans, all grouped under the Hell's Half Acre marketing firm. (The actual Great Satan chairs the parent company and, along with a healthy salary, also receives pension from a UK law enforcement agency (i.e. jimbuna

)).

So, the national title should read: The United States of America (A liesure-time subsidary of Great Satan, LLP)?

Yeah, that would be about right.

"Honest Cap'n - that dhow just sank. I have no idea why. Well, yessir, those are bullet holes in the bodies of those sailors, and yes sir, the one that is injured appears to be shot as well. But it wasn't us, Cap'n!"

"Good, we don't want an international incident! Now, were we able to down that seagull for my dinner?"

"No sir, we fired every available weapon except missiles, and we missed with every one sir."

"Darn, oh well, I will be in my stateroom. Carry on!"
