  1. Love Iran from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇮🇷

  2. Where was the swarm? Did I miss the swarm behind the one ship, and not even know it? I mean, wow, that headline SAID "swarm." I always associate "swarm" as multiples of things. Does "swarm" pertain to bombastic headlines?

  3. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
    But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted".
    Matt 23 NIV

    YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them, or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents, up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me, and keep my commandments.

    If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.

    AND WHEN YOU PRAY DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
    BUT WHEN YOU PRAY, GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
    And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.

    This, then, is how you should pray:

    Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us today our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
    And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.

    For if you forgive other people when they sin against you,
    your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
    But if you do not forgive others their sins,
    your Father will not forgive your sins.

    "Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway", we can use google search.
    These are the teachings,
    The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
    REPENT, and start doing what is right.
    If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples;
    then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

    Yet a time is coming and has now come
    when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
    GOD IS SPIRIT, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.

    In the New Heaven and the New Earth,
    only Righteousness dwells.
    May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

  4. a Persian boat exist in Persian gulf
    Americans : wtf pikachu face

  5. war is coming…
    nearer than ever!

  6. USA 🇺🇸 USA. Threatening Iran since 911. U support an apartheid regime that committs crimes against humanity (Israel), u wage illegal wars (2nd gulf war, Vietnam etc…), you've used nukes on civilians (Japan), u support terrorists and dictators, you turn a blind eye to the houtis being a victim of genocide, you've committed your own genocide against the natives Americans, you violate the NPT and chemical weapon treaties…..etc. And yes, Iran is the bad guy. Blame it all on Iran. Go ask your generals what a war with Iran would look like, cost in terms of material loss and lives. Entire US navy including carries and all US bases in the region are sitting ducks. Go home

  7. Do they hold diaper change drills in US navy training ?😂😂

  8. This wouldn’t happen if trump was in office…. There would be warning shots!

  9. Don't know how "tense" it was. If there were a collision, at worst the US ships would have to hose the mess off their hulls. The Iranians would be fish food.

  10. Blow them up. Why is this so difficult? They do this because we let them. Turn a few of them into shark bait and it’ll stop.

  11. I bet those Iranian military personnel haven't even been trained in proper pronoun usage 🤣🤣🤣

  12. LOL, Yankees here as always scream, fire fire!
    Question: Why does no fire happen?

  13. How is the world was that speeding Iranian vessel allowed to speed away unharmed? Under President Trump, the POS would have been sunk! We have become a weak nation!

  14. Rounds Coming Down Range…. " fire for effect". "Get Some". Show an example. Semper (0331).

  15. Funny how we bully Iran in their neighborhood and we complain
    The USA is the aggressor.
    Imagine if Iran was in international waters outside the US.
    The F’ing US military industrial complex is the biggest terrorist in the world

  16. Lost opportunity for a little target practice.

  17. Play stupid games win stupid prizes idiots 🙄

  18. Should have opened up the 50 cals on them

  19. Bruh this Iranians are so brave

  20. Iran likes to kid around. They know what would really happen to them if they were serious. The US Navy gets a little training in the mean time.

  21. Islamic Iran does not need red indians land

  22. Do Iran use the right pronouns before contact

  23. Near Iran hundreds of miles from us what us navy doing out there

  24. Nothing new, As always Islamic Iran's law enforcement officers patrolling waters.

  25. usa regime's bugle shows the fear

  26. Dear US Navy, Please SHOOT next time. Regards, the Modern Free World.

  27. The Iranian send these boats only to humiliate the U.S. navy, all of the American commanders in these waters know now that if they make the mistake of attacking these boats their ships would be targeted from the shore in a matter of seconds so they fire a few flares not to loose face.

  28. In the wise words of Nixon: fire, fire!

  29. This BS already cost us the Cole. Blow the thing out of the water! You are supposed to protect your ship and your crew.

  30. there is Persian Golf its of Iran. what are us navy doing there????
    Iran has very brave soldiers

  31. They should’ve sank it not fired a flare

  32. That's a test run to see how close they could get before the U.S. Navy would fire warning flares. One of these times it's not going to be a test, but instead a boat filled with high explosives and a jihadi suicide bomber driving taking it at max speed into a ship's hull. The safety zone should be extended out a little further.

  33. Strait of Hormuz is very far away from the east coast. Pack up your clowns and get out.

  34. trump, blow that boat out of the water

  35. Woke Navy engages Iranian boat with flares , probably seen the 🏳‍🌈 and speeded off laughing. 🤣
