    I think that with Trump as President, the Navy has been able to dust off
    the defensive Rules of Engagement which were pretty much shelved under Obama.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    More than likely it depends on what the level of "harassment" is. They ALWAYS came out in the Straight of Hormuz to shake their fists at us and shadow us. That was under Reagan, Bush and Clinton. Mostly annoying. The ships would button up and go through the Straight at night. That meant the smoking lamp was secured Then you had to go all the way down into engineering if you knew someone and wanted to UA smoke

    I doubt Iran has stopped "business as usual". I DO however doubt they'd try and board a Naval vessel like they did when O-blah-blah was CinC in name only.

    ROE's for the U.S. Military, across the board has been changed to benefit OUR MILITARY now.
    With MAD DOG running the Pentagon, instead of Obama scaredy-cats, and yes men. IRAN knows things have changed. They can play their little games in the Straits of Hormuz, but U.S. Ships no longer have to wait until FIRED UPON. Imagine that????

    Never Trumpers and stinkin Liberal "Leftist" hate to hear things like this...and will come up with all kinds of Bullshit excuses...



    TRUMP: `Iranian ships harassing the US Navy would be 'shot out of the water' under his presidency`

    "With Iran, when they circle our beautiful destroyers with their little boats and they make gestures at our people that they shouldn't be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water," Trump said.

    **PUBLISHED: 21:33 EDT, 9 September 2016....



    **​Muslim Terrorist in Iran remember well what Trump said...
    Would love to see them try......

    ***Trump >> won't << let his sailors get captured by the Iranians like a good little Globalist.

    Does anyone even know what the ROEs are now and what they were under His Eminence, the King of Chicago?

    I don't recall us ever having to be fired on to engage. Imminent threat was the ROE and the Iranians knew it. They'd get only so close then back off.
