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?

Even if they did make it over here, it's not like they'd do anything.

Everyone. Go to New York. Set up loudspeakers. Play this [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8F3UE9qFsg&ob=av3e]Song[/url]. Laugh at Iranians.

Hmm...I wonder just how close they're getting. If its anywhere near New York then someone should warn the Iranian navy that the NYPD's patrol boats could successfully sink them all.

So is Iran a second North Korea now?
-
I'm just laughing at all the funny comments people have thought about this...
-
if they ever did make it here, they'd be nuked off the map... no i don't mean nuclear bombs, i mean that's how badly we could pwn them.

I loved this comment from CNN: [quote]That's assuming they can get past the Somali Pirates[/quote]

LOL, they think that's powerful? Shit that's nothing. Our Destroyers and Nuclear powered submarines will make short work that if they decide to be hostile.

"Commander of the Navy of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran" Most ridiculous title ever.
-
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.
