Iran planning to send ships near U.S. waters - Polidicks

[QUOTE](CNN) -- Iran plans to send ships near the Atlantic coast of the United States, state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported Tuesday, quoting a commander. "The Navy of the Iranian Army will have a powerful presence near the United States borders," read the headline of the story, in Farsi. "Commander of the Navy of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran broke the news about the plans for the presence of this force in the Atlantic Ocean and said that the same way that the world arrogant power is present near our marine borders, we, with the help of our sailors who follow the concept of the supreme jurisprudence, shall also establish a powerful presence near the marine borders of the United States," the story said. The reference to the "world arrogant power" was presumably intended to refer to the United States. IRNA cited the force's website as saying that the announcement was made by Adm. Habibollah Sayari on the 31st anniversary of the Iran-Iraq war. State-run Press TV said Sayari had announced similar plans in July. In February, two Iranian Navy ships traversed the Suez Canal in the first such voyages by Iranian ships since 1979. U.S. Defense Department officials had no immediate reaction to Tuesday's announcement. The United States has deployed fleets to the Persian Gulf in the past. State-run Press TV, citing IRNA, said Tuesday's announcement came as Iran also plans to send its 16th fleet of warships to the Gulf of Aden to protect Iranian vessels and oil tankers from pirates, who have hijacked dozens of ships and exchanged their crews for ransom. The Islamic Republic has repeatedly assured that its military might poses no threat to other countries, stating that Tehran's defense doctrine is based only on deterrence, Press TV reported in a story in July about the deployment of submarines to international waters.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/110928123920-iran-navy-story-top.jpg[/IMG] I say if they put ships off our coast, we go out on fishing boats and cook them some good old fashioned BBQ. Just because our governments don't get along doesn't mean we can't. Besides, they're well within their legal rights so long as they are within international waters, don't interrupt trade in any way, and don't touch a single ship. If they try anything, we'll be ready, but I seriously doubt anything will happen in the slightest.

So they're just pulling a Russia on us?

"Hey, so, we hate you guys, and you guys suck, but we're just gonna dump some guys by you, but don't worry." [editline]27th September 2011[/editline] Also, what is jurisprudence?

Well, I live in New York, so this is rather unnerving.

[QUOTE=johnlmonkey;32516315]Well, I live in New York, so this is rather unnerving.[/QUOTE] I assure you, the US coast guard can stop any threat that-phahahahahahahahaah oh man, you're fucked if they attack.

This seems almost childish. "I'm not touching you USA, I'm not touching yoooouuuuuuu." 'Till they touch us and we snap their fucking arm off.

Oh boy here we go. Its like the kid down the street that you hate, standing on the sidewalk outside going neenerr neenerr.

Yeah... Can't say I'm that scared about it. If was was going to worry, it'd be about the countless nuclear submarines patrolling the waters around our country. Not Iran's boats. Well that and I'm in Arizona so problems in the Atlantic don't quite have the same effect on me.

Granted they will never let you get anywhere near their ships, but simply the offer would be hilarious.

Iran buying Jets, and sending ships near us? It's just screaming "we're going to try to invade the country with the ridiculous amount of funding to the military"

Iran is well within its rights to conduct naval operations in international waters, respecting the 19km territorial limit from a country's shore, but they're not going to do anything stupid.

[QUOTE=Bomber9900;32516511][url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Station_Norfolk[/url][/QUOTE] Was there on vacation last summer. Nice place.

I think this might be an Iranian website, but this is the story about them deploying their 16th fleet to aid their trade ships. Their comments are like our Fox News comments. [url]http://www.presstv.ir/detail/200736.html[/url] [QUOTE]Iran shouldn't build carriers. They're expensive & needlessbut they need more submarines. Iran has the ability to defeat the U.S. but I think they should focus on defeating the JEW BANKING SYSTEM, DUMBS & the illuminati. Iran need satellites that can drop projectiles that can reach into Northrop Tejon RCS Facility, DIA & Dulce & destroy them.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Once, Iran would equip its military arsenal with nuclear warhead, Then the Threat, barking and invasion by the IsraHell and the west towards all freedom loving peoples around the world must come to end forever. After acquiring such frightening Mather of all weapon, Iran can point its finger directly on the eyes of the west without hesitation .A nuclear weapon is the only source to keep enemies out of touch. Simple. Iran must get that mighty strength at hand .[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]The only thing which seriously bothers me is that there is not 100 of these things ready. IRI seriously, wake and hurry up, much more capital must be allocated to military if Iran is to remain safe from the terrorist state known as USA. [/QUOTE] Man, it's so weird, they have the same xenophobes that we do here. I bet if some of the insane republicans that have been in the headlines recently met these people, they would figure out they are very much alike and get along just fine.

[QUOTE=pastorpaul;32516614]So we get money for destroying jets that we made?? Sounds like a plan to me.[/QUOTE] Really? Seriously? Iraq. Different place entirely.

I don't think they have any kind of attack planned, that would be suicide.

[QUOTE=pastorpaul;32516614]So we get money for destroying jets that we made?? Sounds like a plan to me.[/QUOTE] Iraq, not Iran. Unless you think we're fighting the Iraqi army, in which case you are pretty ignorant.

Is that a fishing vessel in the background of that pic? They can't HONESTLY be thinking of taking those to taunt the us marine border! LOL And is that a 25mm bofors class AA gun at the bow? LOL

I honestly do think we could we friendly to them as a civilian population, maybe at least to try and defuse things a little bit. Toss them a rope, for Christ sakes.

[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;32516814]I know, was just poking fun at the coast guard.[/QUOTE] I'm rather offended actually. P.S. I'm in the Coast Guard.

[QUOTE=urbanmonkey;32516710]Iraq, not Iran. Unless you think we're fighting the Iraqi army, in which case you are pretty ignorant.[/QUOTE] My fault. Misread.

The question i have is: Are those Iran ships prepared for a US marine hostile boarding? I've heard those marines are able to secure a boat like that by force rather quickly. I mean, only should there be an event where such measures are needed.
