It means the Iranians could shoot at a rescue helo, but can't send out their own boats to nab the pilots, nor detect and engage the rescue boat.

Why would they do that?
Why bother nabbing the pilots?
What in that action is to their benefit?
Isn't Iran sitting pretty right now? No "hot" war and getting revenue from controlling the strait.
Why would Iran put that in jeopardy by capturing a couple of pilots that Piggy would have to retaliate massively?
People fail to understand that Iran has everything they want
This is the new normal, Iran controlling the strait, taking a toll on every ship that passes, paid for by the rest of the world.
That is not going to change any time soon.
So, yeah, grabbing a couple of pilots would be about the worst thing they could do.
Now if they DID shoot down the copter, it shows, at relatively low cost/risk they are capable of projecting force.
Which helps them control the strait.
This is all pretty simple, seems most people haven't caught on yet.
Piggy could not care less about this war. He is bored with it. He has said that.
And, I forgot to add something.
"Peace" or a "deal" with Iran will require peace with Israel.
Let that sink in.
The war will not end until there is peace in the middle east between Israel and their neighbors.
How difficult could that be?
This is the new normal.
I am honestly shocked that pundits think a "deal" is forthcoming.
I expect nothing from the MSM, their too corporate and cowardly to report the truth or even frame this illegal, unjust, unjustifiable war in the proper light.
But someone in the pundit class surely should be able to see the obvious conclusion of the simple facts reported.
