The exercises follow Iran's capture of 15 British navy personnel, and high tension over its nuclear programme.
The US Navy said the exercises were not meant to exert pressure on Iran.


So you can scratch my dumb "they aren't reporting anything" post.
I've never really understood the above strategy, I've always thought that it would be more effective to let it slip that you have a submarine off of the coast of Iran even if there's not one there.

But its just me
