Iranians "threatens" U.S. ships - case of strong accents?

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N07391390.htm

According to the officials, the radio transmission from one of the Iranian ships said: "I am coming at you. You will explode in a couple of minutes."

The Iranian boats were believed to belong to Iran's Revolutionary Guard, the officials said.

...

An "informed source" from the naval force of the Revolutionary Guards was quoted by Iranian state television as saying: "There were no out of the ordinary contacts between the Guards' naval force and American ships."

In his account of the incident, the source said three U.S. naval ships were asked by Guards' vessels "as usual" to identify themselves "which they did and they continued their path". (Writing by Andrew Gray and Doina Chiacu; Editing by Bill Trott and Robert Woodward)



"I am coming at you. You will explode in a couple of minutes."

Let's say it was a case of bad translation or strong accents. Anyone care to interpret what they were trying to say?
