Well, this strays from the usual silliness and less than credible work over at the Huffington Post and gets closer to a style of treasonous support for our espoused enemies than it does the normal fare. In a posting by one Hooman Majd, an Iranian born writer who dabbles in the music business, we are treated to the absurd conspiracy theory that the U.S. Military manufactured the incident last Tuesday in the Straits of Hormuz involving a few Iranian patrol boats and the the U.S. Navy. Majd seems to imagine that the Pentagon somehow faked the whole thing, and I’m not exaggerating. Catch the title of his posting: It’s a Fake. No attempt at subtlety there!
Catch this claim…
The Pentagon’s version of the encounter in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday morning, involving U.S. Navy warships and Iranian Revolutionary Guard patrol boats is, at the very least highly suspicious. On Tuesday, the Navy released video footage and an audiotape to back its claims that the Iranian boats acted in a threatening and provocative manner, but neither the video nor the audio are particularly convincing as proof that Iran had hostile intentions.
Who is this guy trying to kid? The Iranians have made it a constant practice to buzz around ships of foreign registry. They have done so to the U.S. Navy in the past, and we shouldn’t forget the incident just last March with the British ship the HMS Cornwall when the Iranians boarded the ship and forcibly kidnapped 15 British servicemen and held them for a few days.
This guy is outrageously a mere apologist for Iranian aggression. Catch this softpeddling of Iran’s aggressive naval actions.
