If the Iranians know what is good for them, they will NOT go any farther with a Singaporean ship. Singapore has 72,000 regular military personnel and almost 1.4 million reserves.

Singapore has a VERY potent navy including two AIP subs modernized to Södermanland class standards and six modern frigates. The RSAF includes F-15 Strike Eagles and F-16 Falcons. The RS Army operates over 250 MBTs made up of Leopard IIs and Mervaka IVs. The Iranians would be wise not to mess with Singapore.

Obama can sit back and preen for his home base while Singapore, Egypt, Jordan, Kurds, and "our friends" in Saudi Arabia fight the inevitable war with subdued Israeli support and without us.
