In either case this is bad. It either shows that their civilian leadership is either crazy, or not in control of their military. Maybe there are a few Iranian sailors hoisting a few tonight at the local bar and talking up a story of their confrontation with the Americans, but perhaps they should think it through a little.
- Their crazy president allowed the act as some sort of saber rattling or
- Their military forces, in this case the Revolutionary Guard, took it upon themselves to beat their chests

or it was a deliberate provocation, seeing what the US would do. After all, if the Navy destroyed the boats to prevent a USS Cole incident, Iran can play the victom. So Iran has a better understanding what the Navy will do and will help them plan their actual assault. Remember this is the land of the suicide bomber (it was a viable weapon back in ancient times and can still be today)
