Apparently so. [url]http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/27/world/meast/iran-navy/[/url]
Well, being that I live in America, this story intrigued me. No doubt I felt a little unsettled at first, but after doing some background research, I started laughing.
Iranian Navy:
3 WW2-era destroyers
5 Frigates
3 Corvettes
3 Diesel Powered Submarines
None of which even have the range to sail the 8000 nautical miles between New York and Iran, and also have no nuclear capabilities.
Plus they're doing this during the height of hurricane season.
On behalf of the United States I would like to thank the Islamic Republic of Iran for their generous donation to our artificial reef program.
Your thoughts?

"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" So, you did the 100m sprint, and now you wanna go for the 5k Gold? These people can not be serious.

We should invite them into port! You know, international hospitality and such. Then accuse them of spying and lock 'em up for two years. *Troll Face* You Mad, Iran? [Edited on 09.27.2011 7:58 PM PDT]

Those boats are going to start sinking in the next hurricane and they'll ask for help from America.. 'Please, infidels.. please save us'.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Commander Santa Are these guys trying to start a war? Are they retarde? Both? People cant just float their -blam!- Navy into New York Harbor when they feel like it. We need to set some ground rules, or we'll send a bunch of kids down to the pier and sink thes morons with some bottle rockets. This makes absolutely no sense.[/quote] I'm comforted by the fact that there are probably going to be half a dozen U.S. fast-attack subs surrounding their entire fleet, ready to destroy every single ship they have within a couple minutes.
