Hey stupid, Trump was responding to Iranian threats to attack our ships because Trump killed their top terrorist.
Right, they are smarter than that. They said they will continue to follow international law, which dictates they do not shoot at those boats in that situation. Trump said he gave an order to shoot at those boats in that situation (which was probably a lie anyway). the Navy said they will not by stating they will continue to do what they have been doing in following international law.
firing on hostile boats that endanger their ship is entirely within international law

If you don't count the raghead Iranians blowing up their own boats and crews.
Look, Skippy, I know English is your second -- hell, probably distant third -- language. But try Google Translate or something.
Yup, I called it. You can't stop lying about me.
Hey, Fort Fun Indiana -- you've been shown to be a liar.The navy told trump to stick his "order" up his ass.
I would ask you for a link to your lie, but instead I will just debunk it again...............
Top Pentagon officials Wednesday applauded President Donald Trump's call to "shoot down and destroy" harassing Iranian gunboats but said decisions to open fire would still be left to the judgment calls of ship commanders.
"I would have to be the captain of the ship in order to make that determination" on whether to respond with lethal force, said Air Force Gen. John Hyten, vice commander of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "It depends on the situation and what the captain sees."
At a Pentagon briefing, both Hyten and Deputy Secretary of Defense David Norquist indicated that they viewed Trump's tough talk as an enhanced warning to Iran to avoid encounters with Navy ships that could quickly escalate into open conflict.
"I like that the president warned an adversary; that's what he's doing," Hyten said. "He's providing a warning: If you want to go down that path, we will come and we will come large so don't go down that path."
Norquist added, "The president issued an important warning to the Iranians. What he was emphasizing is that all of our ships retain the right of self-defense. The president is describing and responding to poor behavior of the Iranians."
At the Pentagon briefing, Norquist and Hyten strained to find definitions or distinguish between harassment of Navy ships and the hostile intent, or hostile act, that would provoke a response with force.
"Every capability that we deploy, every ship that deploys in harm's way has the inherent right of self-defense," Hyten said. "What that means is, if we see a hostile act, if we see hostile intent, we have the right to respond up to and including lethal force.
"If it happens in the Gulf, if it happens in any way, we will respond with overwhelming lethal force if necessary to defend ourselves," he said. "It's really that simple, but nobody should doubt that the commanders have the authority right now to respond to any hostile act or hostile intent."

But that won't stop you, will it?
Never has before.
You actually wrote this ??? Good grief.
Liberals hate trump so much the actually cheer iranian harassment of our Navy ships
MS-13, Iranians, North Korea you name it, so yes they have praised them all or made excuses for them ever since Trump got elected. Unbelievable.
They are cheering for more Chinese Virus deaths and the destruction of our economy because they think it will help them in November.
You got that backwards. All I’m saying are the capabilities of Iran. Nothing more. Why is that a problem
Really? Well if that dumbfuck idiot handled this CV properly we won’t be in this situation to begin with. LOL Now you are playing like a victim. Why don’t you blame him?
