Iranian Army Commander Maj. Gen. Ataollah Salehi on Saturday announced that Iran intends to deploy warships and destroyers in Latin America, in a sign of the attempts of the leading state sponsor of terror to expand its military cooperation with countries opposing the US.
We intend to take a longer stride in marine voyages and even go towards friendly states in Latin America," Salehi told reporters at the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.
Speaking at a ceremony welcoming back the Iranian Navy's 38th fleet after 75 days of international deployment, he said Iran intends to increase its cooperation with the navies of Latin American states.
"The Navy is capable of deploying in that region," he asserted, while saying Iran is placing a priority on updating its navy with state-of-the-art weapons.
Iran has been looking to expand ties with Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Cuba, Mexico and Colombia.
According to the Iranian semi-official Fars, "Iran's strong and rapidly growing ties with Latin America have raised eyebrows in the US and its western allies since Tehran and Latin nations have forged an alliance against the imperialist and colonialist powers and are striving hard to reinvigorate their relations with the other independent countries which pursue a line of policy independent from the US."

What a joke.
Naval force projection over those kind of distances takes a lot of skill and logistical support. Be interesting to see how they do.
*Sneeze* Toulon! */Sneeze*
38’th fleet? hahaha
They have announced this before and never made it past the Horn of Africa.
We sent a nice fleet of battleships around the world over 100 years ago if I remember correctly.
Will James Monroe please pick up the red courtesy phone ... James Monroe
President Obama facilitated this expanse.
I know they said Latin American countries but that might include the Gulf of Mexico too. All they need Is one sub launching nuclear missiles from the Gulf area to do significant damage to many U.S. major cities. They could shut down the Panama canal or the Houson Port and do a whole lotta damage to the worldwide economy. Now maybe we know what all this business about Obama’s visits to Cuba were about.
Big talk, but their navy can’t back it up. Their air force is also very questionable. The Iranian Mullahs see themselves as world Jihadi leaders. Their military can cause trouble locally in the Persian Gulf.
Newsflash to Mullahs: “A hundred and fity(sp) billion does not go as far as it used to!”
With 150 billion to play with / why not?

I’m rooting for death...
Blow them out of the water quickly, thereby enforcing the Monroe Doctrine and see what happens. This could completely discombobulate Iran and flabbergast the world at large.
Have at it President Trump. And at the same time wipe North Korea off the map.
Saudi oil fields are next. No, wait. They’re our friends. Even our illustrious president bows down before them.
Run silent.
Run deep.
Americans can’t focus on the developing world to our south while ignoring the invasion of our own country; this is just theater, a distraction from real domestic issues.
