 We received word today that a U.S. Coast Guard Cutter fired a single shot at an Iranian Vessel which had aimed a 50 Cal. Weapon at the cutter in the Persian Gulf. Details were sparse, the Iranian vessel may have actually fired a single shot first. Our usual internet search turned up a fairly full story from the highly reliable STARS AND STRIPES. Link below:
