Iran's Navy Commander Threatens To Sink US Ships
The Times of Israel ^ | April 25, 2018 | By TOI STAFF

A top Iranian general has threatened to sink the United States Navy's ships, warning that the US would find itself in a "catastrophic situation" amid an ongoing war of words between the countries over the possibility President Donald Trump could exit a landmark nuclear deal.

"The actual information that the Americans have about us is much less than what they think they have. When will they figure this out? When it is too late," the Revolutionary Guard Corps navy commander, Admiral Ali Fadavim, told Iranian television on Saturday.

"They will definitely figure it out when their ships are sunk, or when they find themselves in a catastrophic situation," Fadavi threatened in an interview with IRINN TV, according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

Iran may be able to create “difficulties” for Western forces....but any such difficulties would be short lived and would *most assuredly* not rise to the level of “catastrophe”.

“Sounds like someone wants to DIE.”

Perhaps they did not get the memo, Obama is no longer President... I think President Trump would handle any hostile action a little differently then just rolling over exposing his belly.

People forget or never knew that towards the end of the stupid Obama-Iran Nuclear Agreement, the Iranians intentionally sank a mock up scale US carrier. This was done during an Iranian military exercise to show that Iran means what it says to the Obama administration. After President Obama and John Kerry wet themselves, the deal was signed by a knee-trembling US administration.

In addition, the Iranians captured US Naval forces and humiliated them during the same period. Nothing worse than that but Obama apologized...
