No that's not anything about what the video is about. Did you watch it?
In Vietnam the Vietnamese tried the same tactic with their Junks only to be met by the Destroyer's 5" guns. Then one ship's Captain decided to save rounds and started to ram them sinking them. after a few of those they stopped. The Russian trawlers used to try to get into the act so our returning aircraft coming back from bombing runs with hung ordinance used to shake their planes close to the trawlers and the resulting explosions put that one to bed.
... keep clear of "this" area? How is everyone supposed to know where "this" is? VHF radio covers hundreds of square miles.
Well , the Navy should've advise the Iranian ship that they didn't understand the language and ...oops .....😂😂😂

If a potential threat ignored the first warning, its intention is clear. Why echo a warning? Not to neutralize the threat is dangerous. Who knows if it is hiding a missile that would be very difficult to stop at such close range.
