Iran’s Navy began its first deployment to the Atlantic Ocean on Tuesday, according to reports in local press.
...The Navy held a ceremony to celebrate the ships’ departure, which was attended by the commander of Iran’s Navy, Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, as well as his deputy, Rear Admiral Seyed Mahmoud Moussavi.

Probably not enough coral reefs in the world anyway.
It's not a blunder. I suspect you knew that with the "".

Light frigate (aka destroyer) Sabalan. -Maybe this time the US Navy can sink her.
The Iran policy seems muddled - if one looks at the long decade from around 2002 till now. Threats, sanctions and bluster alternate with policies - such as the removal of Sadaam Hussein - which leave Iran on higher ground.
The Iranians are patient, through, observant, intelligent and the clerical regime is utterly determined to (1) survive and rule and (2) restore Persia's glory and (3) avenge themselves on those who they see as the sources of their degradation through the Shah's regime (the US, Great Britain and Israel).

and our kids will perish because of our ignorance.
we’d better start treating that regieme as the mortal enemies they are.
I think I recall a news story about the Iranians on pirate patrol had to be saved by the US or maybe British Navy?
they were dispatched to vist the 57th State...here in America......
As their faiure to complete said mission was veiwed by The Grand Exalted Naval Imam. as dishonoring mohammad they performed the worlds first mass Honor Suicide at sea ...

That would be fine with me.
Someone please send this picture to that STUPID congressman who thinks islands can “tip over”!
