Threatening voice from Iran incident may be famous heckler, 'Filipino Monkey'
The threatening radio transmission heard at the end of a video of Iranian patrol boats in the Strait of Hormuz may have come from a locally famous heckler known among ship drivers as the "Filipino Monkey."
Everyone catch that? Bush speechwriters, you hear? I want to hear the president say "The Filipino Monkey is a threat to world peace" by the end of the week.

reckon it would be something like 'we will hunt that monkey down and smoke him out'.
-
Furthermore, it isn't in the full-length (36 minutes) video of this "incident" which the Pentagon reluctantly released, which confirms the assertion that it was spliced into the first short video that was presented.

decades from now the "Filipino Monkey" will be known as the Archduke Ferdinand of World War III
-
Why? The Archducke Ferdinand never started nor triggered any World War - his assassin did. Maybe the Flipinn Monkey might, at a stretch, be called the Gavrilo Princip of WWIII. :)

ah, but that's where you're wrong! When both the US and Iran decide to hunt the Monkey down for making them look like idiots in front of the world, the resulting assassination will trigger the formation of an anti-US/Iran coalition led by Russia and Japan. "Remember the Monkey!" will be the rallying cry as a surprisingly conventional war erupts worldwide before the US finally ends things with the secret Iraqi nukes discovered shortly after the fall of Baghdad in 2003.

LOL! Great epic fiction! :)

Eh, we'll forget about the whole thing by next month.
No sustained fire was exchanged, no one died, just a big communication gap which can be fixed by the geniuses in Navy Comms.
But the situation does highlight a larger obstacle that needs to be engaged: Iran is in a box, and they can't get out. Sounds like living in the projects. Time to get some affordable diplomacy back in the mix.
The U.S. is going to have to take the first step by tipping our hand and leading by example. First, end the embargo: it's just a form of slow war on an innocent population. It's just managed to solidify the Iranian conservative base and alienate the majority of young modern Iranians from their government, much like us to our conservative hawk government.
The only solution I see is new blood in the White House.
