why not? The Gulf of Mexico is still international waters over most of it’s area.

I heard one of our attack subs has been recently modified with Bermuda Triangle torpedoes (sar). When we have a real President, he will just have a few of their ships meet the bottom.

They are now building their entirely indigenous Islamic Revolutionary designed ships, having commisioned the frigate
Jamaran earlier this year

It is probably a coincidence that prima facie it looks like they reverse engineed their Vosper Mk5 frigates bult in the UK in the 70s

So the Iranians want to put a platform for nukes and/or EMP devices close offshore. I wouldn’t regard this as a joke.

I shudder to think of the damage a funnelator drawn, by the entire Bowdoin sailing team, could inflict on the Iranians.

Food and fuel from Venezuela and probably Cuba. Spare parts from North Korea, so they’ll be hurting there...
I wonder how much of an oil slick their navy will leave on our shores. On the other hand, the “man made reefs” will foster sea life.

What could possibly go wrong?
"Iran has test-fired a sea-launched ballistic missile, according to classified U.S. intelligence reports, which could be used in a devastating stealth attack against the United States or Israel for which the United States has no known or planned defense."

Iran raised the prospect on Tuesday of sending military ships close to the United States' Atlantic coast, in what would be a major escalation of tensions between the long-standing adversaries.Iranian President Imanutob owes me a new computer!! I spit coffee all over my computer!!

Well....when the leader of our nation (makes me sick to admit he leads our nation) is subservient to all other nations, it is time for Iran to flex its muscles. This will greatly embolden the other Arab nations and al qaeda too.

The USA does not allow foreign warships in our waters without permission, but there’s nothing we can (or will) say if they operate outside the 12 mile limit.
