Iranian naval fleets were on their way across the Atlantic Ocean and headed toward the US, the Fars news agency reported on Saturday.

“Iran’s military fleet is approaching the United States’ maritime borders, and this move has a message,” Adm. Afshin Rezayee Haddad of Iran’s Northern Navy Fleet was quoted as saying.

Yeah, if they happen to cross any areas that are particularly deep... If they suffered some kind of “accident” that resulted in an “internal” explosion and sinking... Well, if it is deep, who could ever get down there and verify what happened?

My first thought was: “Their message is that our leader is a p***y”.

I’d think the navy would have detected a nuke long before our shores. Arrogant is a strong word to knock someone pointing out a single destroyer from Iran is a joke. I’ll raise it one.. I’d bet civilians could deal with it.

Wow.

Never thought I’d live to see the day Iran was pushing us around.

What happened to this country? :(

If any decent admirals have survived the purge, these sailors will NOT have a pleasant voyage.

PLEASE let one of the Iranian ships steer off-course into U.S. territorial waters

Why? so we can all watch the kenyan apologize for not painting a line on the water?

We have to be concerned about Iran’s intentions as well as Obama’s. This might be a crisis they are hoping for.

never let a crisis go to waste...

China and Russia at least are ruled by sane people. Iran is ruled by mad Islamic dogs who wouldn’t think twice about trying something like a EMP or a small Tact Nuke.
Islamics think there are virgins waiting for them if they die killing infidels.
If we had a leader with a damn spine, there would be a squadron of warships blocking their way. And if anyone cried about it would tell them to piss up a rope.

If they’re stupid enough to engage a U.S. Navy vessel.....

One must consider that the vessel's commander will be under ROE limitations that edict he and the crew go down with the ship, or they all get punished for defending themselves...

a few million people decide to stay home on election day and this is a consequence of that.

I’m far from ignorant of their beliefs and motivations. I also prefer not to live in constant fear from lunatics who have sworn to annihilate America and Israel.
