Nearly a week behind the curve, the January 15 NBC Nightly News program virtually repeated the January 10 CBS Evening News story undermining the American version of the U.S.-Iran confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz.

The Pentagon described the January 6 incident as “an act of aggression,” and released a videotape with added audio of an English-language threat the U.S. ships received during the encounter: “I am coming to you ... you will explode after minutes.”
