That's How Australia Rolls

A new report states that Iran had come up against Australian troops boarding a ship for inspections with heavily armed speedboats like they did with the British when they took the British sailors hostage a few months ago. The only difference was that the Australians took cover on the ship, aimed their weapons at the Iranians and "made "very overt gestures''.

Now, I'm not going to say that the British were wrong and the Australians were right. You never know how things were at the moment in time when each incident happened. But it does show you that the Iranian government is trying to pull some shenanigans against boat patrols to flex it's military muscle.

I do notice though that they don't pull this bullshit with US Navy boats. Perhaps they know we'd slaughter them in an instant and do it with overwhelming firepower? Perhaps they are too chicken to do so and think that Britain and Australia are easier targets? Or it could be blind luck. Maybe they've only come across British and Australian boats. Regardless of the circumstances, I am glad that the Australians let them know who's boss in that situation, because it let's the Iranians know that if they want a fight, they'll get one.
