Iran's navy aims to sail off US shores soon

[longnecker]

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The head of Iran's navy says the country aims to put its warships in international waters off the U.S. coast "in the next few years."

The comments Tuesday from Admiral Habibollah Sayyari on state TV are part of Iran's response to Washington's beefed up naval presence in the Persian Gulf.
The U.S. Navy's 5th fleet is based in Bahrain — across the gulf from Iran — and the U.S. plans maritime war games later this month.
Iran has made similar claims in the past that its ships could soon sail into international waters off the U.S. coast.
Tehran and Washington have been in odd over Tehran's nuclear ambitions that the West suspects it has aimed at weapon. Iran denies the charge.

I'm not a big fan of conflict or anything but at the same time I'd like to see Iran act up that close to our shore. I dare say they would only get their asses handed to them that much faster...

As long as they stay in international waters I dont give two shits......I doubt their boats would make it this far :-) Remember they have to be "tended" they need fuel, food plus with all those Iranian sailors jumping overboard to defect they gonna need some more men.
