Click here for an article in The L.A. Times by Seema Mehta entitled "Trump: Iranian soldiers who harass U.S. Navy 'will be shot out of the water.'"
According to the article:
Last weekend, seven boats containing the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy approached the U.S. coastal patrol ship Firebolt in the Persian Gulf. One of the boats stopped directly in the ship’s path, forcing it to maneuver to avoid a collision.
Today, addressing a rally in Pensacola:
"With Iran, when they circle our beautiful destroyers with their little boats and they make gestures at our people that they shouldn't be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water," Trump said.
President Trump would take the nation to war over Iranian "gestures." (Oh, and the people in the audience that appeared onscreen behind him jumped to their feet and applauded wildly.) He went on in the same speech to call Hillary Clinton "unstable" and "trigger-happy."
