Iran Ramping up Dangers at Sea, US Navy Commander Says

On February 2, Fox News’ Lucas Tomlinson reported that US Navy Commander Mark Davis, the commanding officer of the USS Mahan, the American destroyer that recently fired warning shots, said that the number of “unsafe and unprofessional” interactions jumped from 23 in 2015 to 35 last year, a troubling upswing.

“We tend to abide by the international rules of the sea and also the international norms and laws. And part of that is: if you’re closing a vessel that you’re supposed to, you know, establish communication, let them know what your intentions are and then you come to an agreement as to how you’re going to pass so that it’s not unsafe and does not make people nervous,” Davis told The Associated Press.

In his first White House press briefing, Trump’s national security adviser, Michael Flynn, said that Iran has become emboldened rather than grateful. With regards to consequences for Iran, he said: “As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice.”

On Monday, Iran-allied Houthi militants attacked a Saudi naval vessel off the coast of Yemen. Flynn said that this and the test-firing was another example of “Iran’s destabilizing behavior across the Middle East”.

Is the Iranian Regime Testing the Limits of the United States?

Only a few days ago, the Iranian regime test-fired a ballistic missile. It went more than 900 kilometres and exploded before it got to the intended target – a “failed experiment”, describes a Pentagon official. 

The UN Resolution 2231 prohibits Iran from taking part in such activities for eight years. The Iranian regime clearly violated this resolution. 

So, the question is – was the regime testing President Trump and his administration? Was it seeing what it could get away with and trying to see how bold Trump would actually be?
