Iran may attack if US naval blockade lasts too long, Khamenei adviser warns

A military adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned on Friday that Iran would launch attacks if a US naval blockade continues beyond a certain timeframe.

Mohsen Rezaei, a former chief-commander of the Revolutionary Guards, said the IRGC uses “highly cost-effective drones” and fast boats as key tools of deterrence, adding that Iran is tracking US movements despite what he described as Washington’s attempt to approach “in the dark.”

“The United States is coming toward us in darkness, while we monitor every move they make,” Rezaei said.

Hit his bunker with a big chunk of depleted uranium already, it’s the only way they might actually get the message for real.

Why would they wait ?
Plus it could end right now if they wanted so it’s a bit silly to cry about it

So now Iran is issuing Red Line-Ultimatums to the U.S..
Well, I declare!

I am somewhat frustrated with Trump’s custom of making threats and seemingly not following through with the stated consequence, but to some degree, I understand his inclination for flexibility.

He still does not want to get the US mired into a long, drawn out ground war, nothing that resembles what we just got done trying to do in Iraq and Afghanistan. I don’t want that either. Mr. Trump knows this present war is likely to effect the outcomes of the Mid Term Elections this November.

Yeah, the Republicans would love to have this wrapped up by November. If they don’t, they’re gonna get washed out to sea like a tsunami.

They can still hurt the USA in small ways - hopefully not big.

I can think of many:

1. maybe they have sleeper cells in the USA, or among allies - these will most likely be non-Iranians - could be white, blue-eyed blonde converts to Mohammedanism

2. they could use kamikaze boats

3. they could make a drone swarm

I have no military knowledge so my guesses could very well be stupid, but I’m just saying - don’t discount them YET

Wait the democrats actually have to campaign. While the middle east war is an issue, gas is already down a buck in my neck of the woods. We can just pull what every rat said when Biden had gas at 4.00 and paid no mind and do a compare to the current campaign promises of the out party.

Every time Iran lies or assumes our stupidity, Commence bombing Iran like when we started this. A B-52 with pallets of bombs dropping. Puff the Magic Dragon hard at work. A-10s shooting everything that moves on the ground.

“A military adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned on Friday that Iran would launch attacks if a US naval blockade continues beyond a certain timeframe.”

that would be a suicide attack, right? ... total suicide for the entire brutal iranian regime and IRGC ... nonetheless, just more empty bluster because even the nutters that run the country must realize it would be the end of them if they attacked the USA ...
