Out of curiosity I would like to know how “harassment” is defined by the navy. I’m not saying harassment didn’t happen or that this news report is inaccurate. What constitutes harassment? Also, a news agency shouldn’t refer to a country’s navy as “the greatest”; it implies a major bias towards good or bad/right or wrong. “Most powerful navy” wouldn’t be biased because that can be measured. “The greatest” is opinion.

The Navy defines the harassment as "unsafe and/or unprofessional interactions." Seems to be mostly boats and UAV's getting close.
OAN is average propaganda shop.

You forgot to include derision......towards Trump. Why should they fear or respect him? They're now making deals with Russia and China in order to bolster their economy and are now free to produce all the fissile material they want since Trump backed out of the international nuclear deal. I'll bet the Iranians are saying right now; "To hell with the U.S. and it's lunatic president. His military is not even worth harassing. We'll bide our time".
Remember NS, your man Trump is such a genius, he even believes we all have to show ID just to buy groceries (he did NOT say alcohol at his little boner rally either, no matter how he tried to correct things after his idiotic statement blew up on the net).
Exercise...as in they aren't actually swarming US military. You can bet if they were stupid enough to try and pull what they did under Obama, your orange-haired nightmare would blow them out of the water.

And just what do you think that action would accomplish, hmmmm?
