Hey, the verbage and wording is very non-native and shows that this is an article authored by someone who wants others to think this is tough. And the url shows an Iranian country code. Hard to believe the most intense running sea battle since WW2 would be in a desert with folks using man pads and guerrilla tactics.
Good effort on trying to represent your country's perspective but it's not holding up to scrutiny.
I’m not Iranian, I am Arab-American and here’s an article from AP
US Navy faces its most intense combat since World War II against Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels
And here’s a Time article
The U.S. Navy Is Sinking in Middle East Sand
And here's an article from Navy Time
Navy faces most intense running sea battle since WWII with Houthis
Oh and this AP story via MSN has the quotes in the .ir source:
So you: 1. attacked the messenger without even caring to refute it with a source 2. assumed where I was from wrongly, and 3. assumed the article is false simply due to the top level domain. This tacit racism is not something I should waste time on. I shouldn't have to back an already factual story with western sources to appease you.
pffft navy times sounds like one of them eye-rab sources, them thangs no good round here boy
You came over here bro. Pathetic behaviour.
