My older brother was the chief engineer of a navy carrier on patrol in the Persian Gulf several years ago. He has told me the Iranian Navy is rusting in port. They rarely sent out patrols and would immediately return to Iranian waters if they were ever challenged. The iranians are like the rest of the moos, they are full of hot air and only understand a good smackdown.
"My older brother" -- I'm glad you posted that. Good reality check.
I'm not so sure they do.
