I suspect the Bermuda Triangle will mysteriously develop an appetite for Iranian naval vessels.

No one should laugh too hard at this becuase the Iranians could easily operate in the Gulf of Mexico with logistical support from their friends in Cuba and Venezuela.

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

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.

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.

Let’s see is Turkey a NATO member and US ally in the world-wide war for liberty or the vanguard in an attack on it?
