"Washington (CNN) -- A senior Iranian naval official says Iran is sending warships toward U.S. maritime borders to send a message."

Have they no postal system???

It's Sunday. The USPS doesn't deliver on Sundays. Maybe a fax would have been better?

Or they are to busy shooting students, hanging homosexuals and oppressing women, great bunch of blokes those Iranians

And the message is: look at our old crap floating about, please don't send a Coastguard harbour patrol boat and sink our navy..

Are they fcuk. They battered their heads off Iraq for years without winning. The US flattened saddam like a pancake in a single saturday afternoon, between waffles and evening beers. The Irannianians would have more hope of invading Narnia.

If they've any brains, they'll keep their heads down - the US and Israel are dying for an excuse to flatten the gaff. If Commander Sam spotted even a gesture of hostility, it'd be like a christmas present.

That propaganda might work on your gullible mind but don't try fobbing it off here. Do they gas their own people too like the Syrians or take viagra to rape women like the Libyans or throw babies out of incubators like the Iraqis?

And look at these modern weapons that defeated your arrogant, bloated superpower ass in Iraq AND Afghanistan:

Think I heard the same hubris and loudmouthed cockiness back in 2001/2003. Sh1t like "camel jockeys, cave dwellers, cakewalk" etc. I'm under no illusion that USAF could easily pick off these ships but then again don't underestimate Iran's anti-ship missiles. There's no way that Iran would attack anyone. They haven't done so in centuries but if America's past record of getting it's nose bloodied over the past 60 years is anything to go by I would be so smug and scoffing if I was you. Using apache gunships against peashooters in Grenada is nothing to brag about.

Are any of them Iran?

Edit: still no reply from the Keyboard Warrior, his mum must have turned off his Wi-Fi, nothing to do but mock and laugh at the Thanks Whores who fail to pick up where the vanquished Warrior fell....

They'll probably refuel in Cobh and half their crew will go missing while on shore leave.

Where did I do that? Did I pass comments like camel jockeys and cave dwellers?
Or does the thought that someone actually just lives in the US just send you into a blind rage of bile?

Where did anyone even hint at that?

"Freedom of the seas doesn't just apply to fish. It applies to all maritime nations, all navies, everywhere -- so long as they understand the responsibilities which come with that freedom," the defense official said.
"So if they chose to send their ships to the Atlantic, I'm sure they won't be surprised to find many, many others already there."
The Iranian navy is the smallest of its military forces, according to GlobalSecurity.org, which tracks defense and intelligence issues.

Says it all.

At least the 'airport' in Shannon will have a few yanks floating around if these terrorists get any ideas

Wonder how many pedalos the Iranian fleet actually have, are they fitted out with catapults or have they upgraded to nerf guns?

You might want to check out our own naval capabilities before laughing at anyone.

What has our navy got to do with anything? We're not the ones trying to put on a show of force & flex our muscles against a superpower

Ireland is not the one trying to flex the muscles of a 10 year old at his bodybuilder neighbor.

CNN are getting desperate with declining viewing numbers. Spicing up stories like this is all they got. I not going to look but I just bet they are not even covering this story, http://www.euronews.com/2014/02/08/bosnia-violent-protests-worst-unrest-since-war/

It's a mad mad world

Actually all Iran is doing is putting ships into the Atlantic Ocean and thats really only because the USA has for years been sending ships into the Persian Gulf.

Interestingly the US Navy is based at Bahrain a country which is ruled by a minority over a majority and fired on demonstrators killing loads. The Americans could have done something but choose not to - having allies is more important to them than democracy.

BTW I looked up the Fars agency the army in Iran has released a new video game. Here is an ad for the earlier version.

I was on holiday in Armenia and met a good few Iranians also on Holiday and they were all a very laid back, cosmopolitan, friendly people not like they are portrayed on the TV or in films at all.

Does the name Atefeh Rajabi Sahaaleh ring any bells with you?

In fairness all the judges and the militia involved with that case have been arrested.

Really?

Now that was propaganda!

Perhaps most despicable is that in addition to his confession of his rape of Atefeh, Judge Razai who served as Judge, Jury and Executioner, also confessed to torturing her during interrogations in order to get her to confess and give up the names of other men she would have had sexual relations with. He also confessed to trying to cover up what he and his cronies had done to Atefeh by speeding up the normal process of court proceedings and hastening the verdict of execution.

No official charges have been filed against “Judge” Rezai after his release. He continues to work as a notorious Iranian “killing” judge, condemning innocent Persians to death and ignoring any manner of accepted judicial practice. His corruption as a puppet “judge” with absolutely no scruples or moral integrity and as a human being are blatant, reprehensible and hideously tragic.
