                   US Navy Releases Video of Iran Rocket Fire

   by VOA News

   The U.S. Navy on Saturday released a video that it said showed Iranian
   military vessels firing rockets near an American aircraft carrier,
   other Western warships and commercial craft in the Strait of Hormuz.

   The Navy said the video was shot from a Seahawk helicopter on December
   26.

   ''U.S. officials said the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, the USS
   Bulkeley destroyer and a French frigate were nearby at the time, as
   well as commercial vessels.

   There was no immediate reaction in Tehran to the video's release.
   Previously, Iranian General Ramezan Sharif, a Revolutionary Guard
   spokesman, said his forces didn't carry out any drills in the Strait of
   Hormuz at that time and called the American comments "psychological
   warfare.''

   U.S. Navy officials said they released the video in response to a
   Freedom of Information Act request.
