Iran warship trained weapons on US helicopter, Navy says

 class guided-missile destroyer USS Farragut
An Iranian warship trained its weapons on a U.S. Navy helicopter in the Arabian Sea last month, a Navy spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Wednesday -- the latest in a spate of rogue moves in recent months by the Islamic Republic.
The Iranian frigate aimed manned weapons at a U.S. helicopter practicing landings on a coalition vessel being accompanied by the USS Farragut in the Gulf of Aden on July 25, Navy spokesman Lt. Timothy Hawkins told Fox News. The Gulf is located in the Arabian Sea between Yemen and Somalia.
“We characterize this interaction as unsafe and unprofessional,” Hawkins told Fox News.
