New Iranian Role for the U.S. Navy in the Gulf…….

I am beginning to think that the massive U.S. navy in the Persian-American Gulf and the Arabian Sea has two functions: (1) to confront, threaten, deter, and possibly attack Iran (possibly all of the above), and (2) to save and rescue Iranian citizens and sailors stranded at sea or held hostage by Somali pirates. The latter has happened four times in the past six weeks and, given that Somalia is a member of the Arab League which means Somalis are Arabs, all this beginning to look suspicious in some quarters.
I am beginning to suspect that Plan B (or is it C) for any Iranian vessel at risk on the high seas is to pray for a U.S. Navy warship to come to the rescue. (I don't think it is Plan A, do you?)
