The Ayatollah Regime, in Iran, has gotten away with murder since 1979. American Presidents of both parties have tried to kiss their asses and turn a blind eye to their trouble making. Iranian IEDs killed US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with no retaliation. Feeling overconfident, Iran is now threatening “action” if a US aircraft carrier returns to the Persian Gulf.
TEHRAN Jan 3 (Reuters) – Iran will take action if a U.S. aircraft carrier which left the area because of Iranian naval exercises returns to the Gulf, the state news agency quoted army chief Ayatollah Salehi as saying on Tuesday.
“Iran will not repeat its warning … the enemy’s carrier has been moved to the Sea of Oman because of our drill. I recommend and emphasise to the American carrier not to return to the Persian Gulf,” Salehi told IRNA.
“I advise, recommend and warn them (the Americans) over the return of this carrier to the Persian Gulf because we are not in the habit of warning more than once,” the semi-official Fars news agency quoted Salehi as saying.
This is what happens when you allow a nation to punk you time and time again. The Iranians feel emboldened and, thanks to the support the Transnational Progressives give them, who can blame them?
I am not an interventionist type, but free flow of goods and the un-harrassed passage of American ships is a red line for me. Iran should be told that if they even try taking out a carrier or any one of our ships, that their nation will be destroyed in ways unimaginable. I doubt this will happen since we have Eunuchs (both parties) running this nation. The US is run by a bunch of feminized metrosexuals. No one on the political scene has the balls to put Iran in its place.
On a related note, it turns out Iran is hyping its capabilities. It turns out many of the photos and video clips are exaggerated.
Seyyed Mahmoud Moussavi, Iranian Military Drills Spokesman, stated “Both missiles hit the intended targets successfully.”
It turned out the missiles weren’t that long range after all.
The Qhader missile, introduced in September, has a range of just 124 miles. The U.S. Navy’s fifth fleet in Bahrain is 150 miles from Iran. Israel is four times farther.
“We’ve seen that they’ve photoshopped, for example, photographs of missile tests before to make it look more impressive than it actually is, so I would take all this with a grain of salt. I think this is mainly posturing. It’s gamesmanship. And it’s again meant to send a message that the Iranians aren’t simply going to sit back while their oil is sanctioned,” said Michael Singh, Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
Iran is playing with fire. The US should hit them with an Iron Fist!
