Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, commander of the Navy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, said that his country plans to deploy a naval presence in the Atlantic Ocean sometime this year.
The Atlantic Ocean borders both North America and western Europe. Sayyari did not specify how close to the United States his ships would sail, though he said his navy would act "in accordance with international laws and regulations." So reports MNA, an Iranian news agency.
Speaking with reporters on Saturday, Sayyari emphasized the self-sufficiency of the Iranian Navy: "All equipment and facilities of the Navy are now home-produced, and in addition, Iran's Navy is also self-sufficient in education and human resources.” He stated that before the Islamic Revolution, Navy personnel studied abroad, while today, naval students from other countries come to Iran for training.
He pointed to the Caspian Sea, which borders northern Iran, as a sea of "peace and friendship" among five neighboring countries. “Caspian security should be provided by the five countries so that no foreign country would even desire a naval presence in the sea.” The Caspian Sea is also bordered by Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan.

Iran — the country where 70% young men are addicted to heroin. The rest are Jihadists waiting to be martyred fighting Israel.
Ready!And!,,,,,!pull
Mighty nice destroyer you got there Iran. Be a shame if something were to happen to it....
Mid-Atlantic. Jammer aircraft overflight to coincide with a Nuc attack sub’s torpedo.... buh bye....
We should alert the Coast Guard for when they get in trouble.
Sweet. Test targets for the experimental railgun.
Heh.
Targets.
Er, if we get Trump, they are targets.
With the grifting lying Hillabeast, she’ll have our Navy paint red targets on our own ships.
LOL
My thoughts exactly. The ships and crews just *disappear*.
Yeh two Bass boats. :-)
They have been talking about that and threatening that for years, and to date I don’t think they have gotten very far west of the Persian Gulf.
Ping
Setting the bar pretty low for themselves.
The Atlantic stretches from Greenland to beyond the tip of South America and southern Africa.
All the Iranians have to do is sail warships west of the Cape of Good Hope and they are operating in the Atlantic. All they have to do is sail warships west of the Straits of Gibraltar and they are operating in the Atlantic.
The Iranian navy is more likely to be a hazard to navigation than a real military threat.
>>Yeh two Bass boats. :-)<< Don’t laugh...a few of these bass boats took two of our gunboats. Age of Obama. Love to know the real story of the events. Someday it’ll come out.
Armed with a single M2 .50 caliber Browning, this much feared naval vessel carries up to 30 rounds of full cardboard jacketed paper bag piercing ammunition. It is the first in an entirely new naval architecture class -- technically, “clitoral” (not to be confused with “littoral”) -- being pushed on the Pentagon by the defense minded wussies in the Obama Administration as a cost-saving measure. If you look closely, you can see the heavy-duty seat restraint which prevents the helmsman/gunner shown here – Seaman 4th Class Kenneth “Kamakazi” Kowalski – from leaping from the vessel prior to engaging the enemy. The 12 V trolling motor – which lacks a reverse function -- propels this sophisticated craft forward at a top speed of 4 knots. Reverse travel – at approximately 35 knots -- is achieved by firing the Browning.
The no-bid contract to build 300 of these fearsome warships was awarded to the Obama-Soros-Emanuel Shipbuilding and Stormdoor Manufacturing Company (formerly General Dynamics) and will be administered by trusted Obama associate, Chicago Mayor and former Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel who commented that, at $12 million each, they are a bargain. Constructed exclusively at the company’s facility in Kenya with major sub-component production (rivets and miscellaneous fasteners) at the company’s Harlem and Skokie plants. Delivery and sea trials of 100 of these began in 2013 with the remaining 200 to follow as soon as the subcontractors’ funds are safely in the contractor's numbered Swiss account.
They are invading Germany to gain a port in the North Sea.
