I’m not Iranian, I am Arab-American and here’s an article from AP

US Navy faces its most intense combat since World War II against Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels

And here’s a Time article

The U.S. Navy Is Sinking in Middle East Sand

And here’s an article from Navy Time

Navy faces most intense running sea battle since WWII with Houthis

Oh and this AP story via MSN has the quotes in the .ir source:

“It was incredibly different,” Orloff said. “And I’ll be honest, it was a little traumatizing for the group. It’s something that we don’t think about a lot until you’re presented with it.”

So you: 1. attacked the messenger without even caring to refute it with a source 2. assumed where I was from wrongly, and 3. assumed the article is false simply due to the top level domain. This tacit racism is not something I should waste time on. I shouldn’t have to back an already factual story with western sources to appease you.
