Iranian ''warnings'' usually are shots
In which case they're bloody lucky the answer isn't a harpoon missile.
Being shadowed during exercises by foreign vessels/aircraft is all part of the game, firing shots isn't.

I remember few years back there was the Iranian UAV that flew over the aircraft carrier in the area monitoring the ongoing war-gaming, can you how pissed they would have been if we lit that UAV up and sent it to the bottom. we showed even more restraint for an unmanned drone that was flying directly over our ships, and they open fire on a manned helicopter that was observing at a distance.

'Really Easy' To Close Oil Strait: Iranian Admiral
http://www.defensenews.com/story.php...78&c=MID&s=SEATEHRAN, Iran - Iran would find it "really easy" to close the world's most important oil transit channel, the Strait of Hormuz at the Gulf's entrance, but would not do so right now, Iran's navy chief said Dec. 28.
"Shutting the strait for Iran's armed forces is really easy - or as we say (in Iran) easier than drinking a glass of water," Adm. Habibollah Sayari said in an interview with Iran's Press TV.
Well next time they fire their "warning" shots off, we can send them a "warning" torpedo...Iranian ''warnings'' usually are shots
We would find it easy to sink the whole Iranian fleet in 6 hours.
Some pics...
