After a few hours of banter on Twitter from some of the good intel sources, this gem emerged and hilarity ensued:

And now, the UK Daily Mail is confirming it with more information:

Dozens feared dead as Iranian destroyer accidentally SINKS one of the country’s own warships after opening fire on it

Umm, yeah.

Excerpt:

The friendly fire may have killed dozens of servicemen, Al Jazeera have reported. 

According to local media, an Iranian battleship was accidentally hit by a C-802 Noor missile during military exercises, causing it to sink.  

ELINT News reported that the Iranian Jamaran frigate accidentally fired on the Konarak support ship with an anti-ship cruise missile during exercises.

But we’re supposed to be terrified of these clowns attacking the U.S. Navy? Ummm, no.
