They have absolutely no fear of America under Obamas leadership. In a recent TV interview, IRGC Navy Commander Ali Fadavi said: The Americans are aware that if they make even the slightest mistake, their naval vessels will be sunk in the Persian Gulf, the Hormuz Strait, and the Sea of Oman.
He further claimed that Irans vessels would emerge from undersea tunnels, in which no force will be able to harm our naval vessels. In the interview, which aired on IRINN TV on May 10, Fadavi maintained that the crew of U.S. vessels is now obliged to speak Farsi in the Persian Gulf, and indeed do so.
** Iran also admitted recently that the Obama administration told them to keep quiet on their missile tests.
“...Obamas leadership.”
Oxymoron fail.
I agree. I’ll bet the current (secret) Rules of Engagement tell the skippers of those vessels NOT to defend themselves or retaliate.
The Cole was docked and the 15 captured were in a tiny vessel patrol type boat....all a far cry from attacking and sinking a U.S. Naval vessel....even a destroyer is a formidable weapon system and could be challenged by VERY few countries on Earth and Iran isn't one of them. Retaliation would be swift and overwhelming.
IRGC Navy Commander Ali Fadavi... further claimed that Iran's vessels would emerge from "undersea tunnels," in which "no force will be able to harm our naval vessels."Yes, that's right -- he is that stupid. Comes from growing up in an Islamofascist dictatorship.
