Wire Dispatch: :Navy tells Bush Iran incident 'serious'

Nervous about Iran's military might and rising influence, the leaders of these nations also are anxious about the confrontation between U.S. and Iranian naval vessels off their shores.

But they also want security commitments from the president." ... Now what are "security commitments"?
