"The
U.S. can't do a damn thing to us." And the deputy head of Iran's National
Security Council, Mohammad Jafari, tells FRONTLINE in his first-ever television
interview: "You will not find a
single instance in which a country has inflicted harm on us and we have left it
without a response. So if the United States makes such a mistake, they should

A
“single instance”, of course he’s right, you will not find a single instance.
The
Iran Ajar, five dead, one mine layer taken.
Four
U.S. destroyers fired over one thousand rounds of 5-in. shells into Iran's
Rashadat oil-loading platforms in the Persian Gulf. Put a clock on this to wonder why no Iranian

Near
the Strait of Hormuz, two Iranian frigates and several gunboats were sunk by
American warships and aircraft from the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise.
Two
SM-2 surface-to-air missiles hit the Iran Air Flight 655.
President
Reagan ordered a retaliatory strike against two Iranian oil platforms in the
southern gulf that served as bases for Iran's intelligence service. While one
platform was shelled by the frigates Simpson and Bagley, Marines helicoptered to
the second, seized it, planted explosive charges, and destroyed it. A few
minutes later, the Simpson sank an Iranian patrol boat that had fired a missile
at the USS Wainwright.
