Israel denounces Iranian announcement to sending naval warships to the US - Polidicks

[quote]Jerusalem (AFP) - Israel on Sunday denounced an Iranian announcement that it was sending naval ships towards the United States as further evidence that loosening sanctions on Tehran was counterproductive. The move to send warships to the Atlantic was announced by the commander of Iran's northern naval fleet on Saturday, who described it as a "message." The ships "have already started their voyage towards the Atlantic Ocean via the waters near South Africa," said Admiral Afshin Rezayee Haddad, in remarks quoted by Iran's semi-official Fars news agency. Iranian media reported that two ships -- a destroyer and a helicopter transport vessel -- had been dispatched on January 21. It was not clear how close the ships would travel towards the US maritime border or when they would arrive.[/quote] Um...

Israel whining about Iran, tell me something new

How much you want to bet there are submarines tailing those ships this very moment?

Its not as if Iran thinks they can do anything to America with these, its just a propaganda move, and a damn aggressive one.

As long as they're not readying for some preemptive strike, which seems highly unlikely, I don't really understand why anyone would care, they're as allowed to send their ships around the world as the US or anyone is. Hell, they could sail into US ports to say hi as a peaceful gesture, that'd be nice. Although to be honest I'm kind of surprised as I always thought their entire navy was comprised of little littoral combat ships rather than anything large :v:

Given the U.S.'s clearly superior force, wouldn't those ships do better in a defensive position than an offensive, in the case of war? Like, out in the middle of the Atlantic, they're just gonna get shat on first thing in the morning. At least if you keep 'em near your own waters, they might help a bit.

Israel... They do it all the time. Matter a fact, whenever we have Iranian boats, of any sort, near our waters, our Coast Guard goes out and talks with them, usually giving them presents and gifts.

Israel it's alright, we don't care. It isn't like they're going to do anything, and even if they did, being near our shores while doing it would give our bored Air Force and Navy something to do

One step forward; two steps back.

Iran isn't coming to attack, they're not fucking stupid. If we even [I]thought[/I] they were going to attack, this article would be way different They're waving their dick, that is literally it. There is nothing Iran can gain by attacking except a higher lead content in their personnel and assets. Israel is whining, Iran is waving, whats new.

do they realize the coast guard has more firepower than them and the average southerner has enough firepower to repell a beach invasion they have the right to conduct business in international waters but this is such a pathetic show of force. I hope no port between here and Iran takes them and they run out ta gas
