This image made from video released by the U.S. Navy on Saturday, Jan. 9, 2016 shows the view from a Seahawk helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz on Dec. 26, 2015. The U.S. Navy says the video shows a rocket fired from an Iranian Revolutionary Guard vessel near warships and commercial traffic in the strategic strait. What appears to be an oil tanker is seen in the foreground. Previously an Iranian Revolutionary Guard spokesman had denied conducting any naval drills at the time and called the American accusations "psychological warfare."
Dubai: The US Navy on Saturday released footage it said showed Iranian Revolutionary Guard vessels firing rockets near warships and commercial traffic in the strategic Strait of Hormuz late last month, a move raising tensions between the two nations despite the recent nuclear deal.
The Navy said it released the footage in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, though it also comes as US ally Saudi Arabia has cut ties to the Islamic Republic following attacks on diplomatic posts there after the kingdom’s execution of a Shiite cleric.
