The video released by the US implied that the warning was part of
a series of transmissions to the ships from the Iranian craft.

It turns out that the warning was added onto the video. It was a
radio recording made separately.

Yes and? Im sure most video cameras do not come equipped with radio
receivers. Patching a tape from the comm shack onto the video makes
sense.
When a video tape is offered as "evidence," particularly as a
"casus belli," common sense suggests that information about any
splicing, over dubbing, enhancement, etc. should also be
included.

For this we are preparing to go to war????

CIA? Mossad?

How about dumb****s from Iran on those speed boats?
I wonder how the US would respond if Iranian navy ships with
known cruise missile capability and 20 mile heavy gun range,
appeared 3.1 miles off our [the US] shores [technically in
international waters], for example just off New York City or Los
Angeles and began taking pictures.

Given the volatility of the region/situation, common sense
indicates a operations order should be issued immediately,
prohibiting all US naval and air units approaching any closer to
Iran's coastline than 20 miles ==unless their mission is to
incite/provoke these types of incidents.==

That's what Larry Craig keeps saying, but it don't look like no
