I hate to be the guys on that ship. A podunk frigate told to tail an American fleet? No thanks...
In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.
In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.

That may happen, at which point they will be outraged by our blatant act of war, the sinking of one of their ships by outrunning it.
Who else would have done it? The Saudis and Kuwaitis want the Persian Gulf to be secure. Iraq didn't, until we took out Saddam, but they didn't have a navy, at least, not one capable of dropping mines. Only Iran seeks to blockade the Persian Gulf.--Odysseus

Exactly. Weather in the Arabian Gulf is no threat to a ship the size of a frigate, Hell it's rarely a threat to something the size of a charter fishing boat. Newer designs aren't necessarily faster, improvements over the past couple of decades have had more to do with armament arrangements, efficiency in terms of fuel usage at speed, and damage control arrangements particularly in applying lessons learned in the Falklands War. The only danger they are in is if they choose to do something stupid.
