US footage of confrontation in the Gulf - 09 Jan 08

The Pentagon releases footage filmed from the USS Hopper showing Iranian boats heading towards the vessel as well as an audiotape of radio communications.



This is from Al Jazeera, but it doesn't look substantially different from the shorter Pentagon footage I posted earlier this morning.

That bit at the end where the U.S. sailor says in response to the Iranian saying {garbled) in a few minutes, "You will explode after a few minutes" was good, though it wasn't clear whether he was transmitting to the Iranians when he said this.
