Small Iranian fast boats swarmed around massive U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf, and a man speaking heavily accented English threatened, "I am coming to you. ... You will explode," according to a video released Tuesday by the Pentagon.
The Iranian boats appeared to ignore repeated warnings from the U.S. ships, including horn blasts and radio transmissions, as the ships moved through the Strait of Hormuz into the Gulf.

Well, at least it was exciting television.
I wonder if this is what happened when the British sailors surrendered last year... Were they just 'harassed' before giving up? Did they fear being blown up so much they allowed themselves to be captured?
I hope not. That would be embarrassing for the Brits. Still, it makes me wonder.
