Iranian TV airs video of Gulf encounter

Cairo, Egypt - Iran aired video Thursday of its boats and U.S. naval ships in the Persian Gulf in an apparent attempt to show that there was no confrontation between the vessels. The grainy 5-minute, 20-second video showed a man speaking into a handheld radio, with three U.S. ships floating in the distance. (Snip) But the short clip likely did not show Sunday's entire encounter, which U.S. Navy officials described as threatening, and said lasted about 20 minutes.

[smooth - not only did the US fabricate the entire incident, it even convinced Iranian TV assist. Impressive.]
