NEW: 11 Iranian IRGC Navy boats conducted "dangerous and provocative actions" by getting too close to U.S. Navy and Coast Guard vessels in the northern Persian Gulf today, the Navy said

"The IRGCN vessels repeatedly crossed the bows and sterns of the U.S. vessels
at extremely close range and high speeds, including multiple crossings of
the [USS Lewis B.] Puller with a 50 yard closest point of approach (CPA) and within 10
yards of [USCGC] Maui's bow."
