And somebody may be watching them through a periscope when they enter the Red Sea.

‎...And the Iranian ships will be at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea by Tuesday evening...Well, they will if ONE Iranian sailor so much as casts a glance toward Israel's shore; if even ONE gun turret swings eastward; if they vary their course a fraction of a degree -- if their Captain SNEEZES....

I think that Mamood Imadickwad WANTS Israels to attack those ships so that it would provide some distractction from the
protests.

Imadickwad wants Israel to be a bigger enemy to the Iranian people than he is. He should be worried. If the protests
really get rolling, the Revolutionary Guard might give him to the people to placate them.

I hope that Israel maintains a constant CAP, over those ships, with F-15s carrying Harpoons or Exocets or whatever they use.

And with a constant radar lock tone that the Iranians can hear.

The technical naval term for this maneuver, if it happens, is “breakout”. These warships are trying to pull the same thing that the Bismark and Prinz Eugen tried during WWII when they tried to break out into the Atlantic.

If this breakout occurs, and “if” is a very big word, then there are any number of people who will be watching that will not consider it a peaceful thing to do. If these warships approach the Israeli coast then all bets are off.

Worth watching closely.
