The US and Iran almost confronted each other, when the US nuclear-submarine comes in close contact with Iranian anti-submarine chopper
Last week when an Iranian anti-submarine helicopter detected the U.S. nuclear-submarine in the Gulf waters and “close to its shores” the two countries immediately went into a direct communication to avoid a confrontation.
According to reports, the US nuclear submarine was spotted making close contact with an Iranian military chopper when an Iranian pilot identified itself in the Persian Gulf region. Iranian officials later claimed that the US nuclear submarine had to leave the area following hot talks.
