Iran bringing “many divers, sophisticated technology” to Gulf of Mexico

[LucyT]

the same country that is actively recruiting volunteers to conduct suicide missions against United States and US interests, and is opening bragging about it,

has now been granted a base of operations in the Gulf of Mexico, within easy striking distance of America’s Gulf Coast.

Yesterday, I created a new tagline.

Thanks for the info ffnj.

So we'll have Iranian divers in the GoM and 21,000 saudi nationals in our schools.

Lucy, your tag line sums it up nicely. We've already lost, we just don't know it yet.

I staring to gear up for LONG TERM chaos. If things will just stay calm for another year or two. I can handle short term (6-12 month) siege condition now but it would get tough after that.

"Iran bringing “many divers, sophisticated technology” to Gulf of Mexico"
by Laura Mansfield

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Earlier this year, a top Iranian General made the following boast: “Iran is the biggest military power in the region (with) 10 million volunteers for martyrdom operations ... to turn Iran into a terrible nightmare for the United States,” General Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, deputy commander of Iran’s hardline Revolutionary Guards, told the Kayhan newspaper.

This summer, the BBC reported an ad in an Iranian publication has calling for volunteers for "martyrdom operations" against the enemies of Islam. The ad was published by an institute managed by one of Iran's most conservative and radical clerics, Ayatollah Masbah Yazdi, who has declared his support for Iran's new President, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad. It recruits men and women to enlist with the "Martyrdom Lovers' Headquarters".

So I find it more than a little ironic that the same country that is actively recruiting volunteers to conduct suicide missions against United States and US interests, and is opening bragging about it, has now been granted a base of operations in the Gulf of Mexico, within easy striking distance of America’s Gulf Coast.

The Iranian Offshore Engineering and Construction Company is expected to begin shortly a major $90 million dollar project laying pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico. The company says it will be laying 36-inch pipes 60-70 meters under water.

The company expects to be handing the rest of the $400 million dollar project as well.

According to a press release on IRNA, “The Gulf of Mexico project will help the Iranian company gain valuable experiences given the large presence of European and American companies in the area.”

The press release also states that the “project will need many divers and sophisticated technology.”

Is anyone in our government paying attention here?"
