When Rodgers is then asked what the gunboats are doing, he falsely reports they are closing and gaining speed. This is the most obvious act of reckless duplicity Captain Rodgers could have done. He told his commander that non-aggressive boats were, in fact, aggressive. Permission is granted to fire and a naval gun battle begins. This is when the Iranian airliner enters the picture.
