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.

America’s once proud foreign policy has gone to sh*t while Kerry plays with himself and Hillary whines that she had nothing to do with Benghazi.
Do they want their entire fleet nuked on low, medium, or high?
People can deny reality all they want, but EMP is a poor man’s game changer. While I think most estimates and predictions are exaggerated the damage would be catastrophic.
We would be wise to stockpile replacements for key electrical infrastructure (just in case).
> If they’re stupid enough to engage a U.S. Navy vessel.....
You forget the recent sissification of our military....
What implied threat are you referring to? Iran's laughable “fleet”?
Perhaps you never considered that The Soviets, and now Russia, along with China, have previously had nuclear tipped missiles in subs patrolling off our coast, and it's almost %100 likely they also have them off of our coasts right this minute. That's the nature of the world we've lived in for over 60 years now in the case of Russia, and more recently China.
I don't hear people constantly pissing and moaning about that reality on this board, yet you have Iran float a couple of ships over to our neighborhood and all of a sudden nuke's will be raining down on our capitol or EMP bursts are imminent!
Honestly, get a grip!
Preparations for an emp launch from a ship near our border.
> If Iranian naval fleets are headed toward the US, who is guarding their shores? I know, it’s a rhetorical question because of the Muslim in the White House won’t do squat, but I had to ask.
Well if they’re going to do any damage to the U.S. Kalifornia would be a good start with the homes of Pelosi, Feinstein, and Boxer, and the moral capitol of the world, San Francisco.
D.C. you say? I think I would send them thank you cards. D.C. has caused a LOT of the problems in the world today (Not America, D.C. and it's filthy politicians).
Could you imagine something like this in the 80s?
This wouldn’t even be a lousy sci-fiction novel plot. You would at least put in a halfway plausible nation as the enemy, like France...or Yugoslavia.
That doesn't apply to all of them, but certainly the CIC.
Russia has an interest in staying alive.
China has an interest in keeping it’s communist framework and enough workers alive to continue on.
Iran is looking for a way to get some asshole out of a well and they’ll do whatever it takes.
Think they’ve made some ship launched nukes?
In which case, probably nothing would happen.
Maybe he'd hit military bases in Iran, but does the USA still have tactical nukes?
I think we signed a treaty to destroy all of them.
So, very hard for me to believe Obama would launch a strategic nuclear weapon at any country, for any reason.
Although he dreams about firing one at Israel, I'm sure.
If they’re stupid enough to engage a U.S. Navy vessel.....
You forget the recent sissification of our military....
