Iran says US Navy audio, video fake
IRGC says the US video of Sunday's incident in Hormuz Strait involving Iran patrol boats and US ships is archive footage and the audio is fake.
A member of the Navy Forces of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) told Press TV on Wednesday that the footage released by the US Navy had been compiled using file pictures and the audio had been fabricated.
Earlier Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said the incident was a normal identification request by the Iranian side.
Hosseini explained that exchanging messages to identify ships in the Persian Gulf is routine.
Washington earlier claimed that IRGC speedboats harassed three US Navy warships in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday.
The US Navy later released footage purportedly showing Iranian boats menacing US Navy ships in the Persian Gulf.

The film looks like what Iran says it is: a routine encounter.
The so-called "threatening messages" were fabricated separately, and have not been released to the zio-media, since American peasants wouldn't understand it.
Every U.S. serviceman in the Middle East knows that Bush is visiting. Apparently the 5th Fleet brass decided to fabricate an "incident."
You can see the uneventful film here on CNN.
That CNN link originally had a 3 ½ minute video in which nothing happens.
CNN has now replaced that video with a much shorter version, featuring a ridiculous audio message: “We are coming to kill you!”
As of this moment, the original undoctored video can be seen here.
YouTube also has the original video without the, “You will explode” audio. (All CNN needed was a laugh track to go with it.)
Here’s a Reuters video of Vice Adm. Kevin Cosgriff, commander of the Fifth Fleet, who cooked up this farce.
The National Security Agency (NSA) reveals that Washington had faked an attack on US destroyers to sharply escalate the Vietnam War.
In a report recently issued in response to a 'mandatory declassification' request, the NSA retold the history of the Vietnam War from the perspective of 'signals intelligence'.
The NSA, which is responsible for much of the United States' codebreaking and eavesdropping, exposed information that indicates the reported North Vietnamese attack on American destroyers was indeed a scam.
The then US Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara had told Congress that the evidence of an attack was 'unimpeachable' in a bid to force the then US president Lyndon Johnson to sharply increase the presence of American forces in Vietnam.
This is while the review of the classified signals intelligence proves that 'no attack happened that night', the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) said Monday.
"It's a dramatic reversal of the historical record," AFP quoted Steven Aftergood, director of the FAS project on government secrecy, as saying.

Watching and listening to that footage, it's evident that the Iranian voice sounds mechanical, like it was generated by a machine.
The video of the boats seems to be altered by some computer software.
There's just enough detail to make one wonder, but not enough to actually clarify anything.
In this day and age, we have cameras on satellites 60 miles above the earth that can read newspapers over your shoulders, but we don't use a sharp enough camera to clearly see the boats allegedly harrassing US ships in the Straits.
This was a staged incident, just like the staged rocket attacks on Israel.
Staged to dupe the clueless and ruthless GW Bush into dancing to the tune the Israel's are playing.
A tune which will lead to more death and destruction being dealt to the "existential" enemies of Israel.
Just HOW is it that the Americans with an AGEIS missile boat... The AEGIS air defense system with the SPY-1D phased array radar is decked out with ALL MANNER of counter to all current and projected surface threats came to be afaraid of a 4 man boat doing recon?
The GULF of TONKIN?
Messy things are afoot for you Yanks... lies will only start so many wars before you are found out and countered.
Liar Liar.... Holy shit your pants are on FIRE!
First you take D.C. Then you take New York
Perhaps the 'Harasser's were a few Iranian playboy types out to get some good flicks into there phones of a bunch of pussy Americans peeing there collective diapers about a offshore race boat out to sightsee an MIGHTY American FLEET messing up there testing waters.
Ban Large wake boats! Us Racers are tired of jumping over your 20 foot wakes! They could argue.
Funny.
