More tension between the U.S an Iran

The back-and-forth between Iran and the United States over an encounter between their naval forces intensified this week when Tehran rejected a message from Washington because it did not use the term "Persian Gulf," Iran's news agency said.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry wouldn't acknowledge the message because it twice used the word Gulf instead of Persian Gulf when referring to the January 6 incident between U.S. warships and Iranian patrol boats in the Strait of Hormuz, a ministry official told the state-run news agency, IRNA, on Wednesday

The United States sent the message to Iran via the Swiss Embassy four days after the encounter in the Strait of Hormuz at the entrance to the Persian Gulf where much of the region's oil shipping originates.

The United States contends its warships received a threatening radio transmission telling the U.S fleet they would "explode." The Pentagon released a four-minute, 20-second videotape that showed five boats racing back and forth near the convoy.
Iran, which also released video footage of the incident, maintains it was a routine communication. The Islamic republic accuses the United States of faking the video and exaggerating the matter for political purposes.

This is important because Iran is trying not communicate with the U.S. Many events have worked to contrributed from the insident in which five Iran ships tretened a U.S. ships in the Persian Gulf, to President Bush saying that Iran is threatening the security of the world, and that the United States and Arab allies must join together to confront the danger before it's too late.
