These headlines are pushing things along.
Iranian vessel points weapon at U.S. helicopter: officials (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-iran-helicopter-idUSKBN13N27C)
A small Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard vessel pointed its weapon at a U.S. military helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, two U.S. defense officials told Reuters on Monday, an action they described as "unsafe and unprofessional."
The incident is the latest in a series of similar actions by Iranian vessels this year, but the first reported since Republican Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 8.
During his campaign, Trump vowed that any Iranian vessel that harassed the U.S. Navy in the Gulf would be "shot out of the water," if he was elected. Trump is due to take office on Jan. 20.
Add in the Iran hostage and nuke money, well, the seeds are being sown broadly.
