A cargo ship contracted by the U.S Military Sealift Command has fired at least one shot toward an Iranian boat, a U.S. defense official said on Friday.

"It was an MSC vessel," the official said, confirming the ship had fired on an Iranian boat.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain did not have any immediate comment. Is this a sign that the friction between the two nations is at boiling point? If you spot any updates on the story then please share them in a comment.

    • stephen, They have been here, we aren't civilized enough for them to want to deal with yet. Imagine what we would do to them? Look what we do to each other.

    • phillyharper, this was going to be my next post. Thanks for posting it. Our news is consumed with Campaign '08. I think it is being used as a distraction. Look over here, no look over here, don't look at the current administration, day dream about the future. We can't afford to ignore today, in hopes of of a better tomorrow. We have to act today, to earn a better tomorrow. We need to let them know, we don't have our eyes closed. We are watching them.

    • Depends on which species decides to land and how advanced their weapon technology is. Then we might be in deep doo-doo.

      This is more of the same brought to you by the people who brought you the Iraq war. And if this would've started another war, then he would have been praised for it by the Bush adminstration.

    • "We cannot speculate on who they are. We just don't know. We have no proof of who they were," said Lt. Stephanie Murdoch, another spokeswoman for the Fifth Fleet.

      So they just fire at them. you know, to be safe.

      I hope aliens never visit Earth, for their own good.

    • If he just started a war, he wouldn't say sorry. He'd ask where his Medal of Freedom was because that is how Current Occupant rewards "mistakes"
