IRAN SAYS WARSHIPS HEADED CLOSE TO US BORDERS

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iranian warships dispatched to the Atlantic Ocean will travel close to U.S. maritime borders for the first time, a senior Iranian naval commander said Saturday.

The commander of Iran's Northern Navy Fleet, Admiral Afshin Rezayee Haddad, said the vessels have already entered the Atlantic Ocean via waters near South Africa, the official IRNA news agency reported.

The fleet, consisting of a destroyer and a helicopter-carrying supply ship, began its voyage last month from the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas. The ships, carrying some 30 navy academy cadets for training along with their regular crews, are on a three-month mission.

The voyage comes amid an ongoing push by Iran to demonstrate its ability to project power across the Middle East and beyond.

IRNA quoted Haddad as saying the fleet is approaching U.S. maritime borders for the first time. The Islamic Republic considers the move as a response to U.S. naval deployments near its own coastlines. The U.S. Navy's 5th fleet is based in Bahrain, just across the Persian Gulf.

[HighTide11]

I spent my past 4 summers doing the exact same thing on a US training ship. I always wondered why foreign academies did not come to the US on their training cruises. Maybe thats what this is? I dont know.

Edit: Did not read the article before responding. Its a warship. Belay my last.

[ars92]

lol send your poverty boats Iran, no fuks given

[Workout4ever]

the us paid them to do this in order to orchestrate a false flag attack that would lead the us into engaging another major war thus providing much profits to be had

[Desi_guy]

Iranian ships guided and backed by China and Russia. Lets be honest, US was going to attack Syria but Russia jumped in. US has sent its warships to Europe so why can't Russia with the help of iran send its forces near US.

[Cig Diesel]

In b4 3 lobster boats take em out

[SwagMorris]

Would be more scared of these guys...

[helpmee]

we are not even mad bro..

In Washington, a U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, cast doubt on any claims that the Iranian ships were approaching U.S. maritime borders. But the official added that "ships are free to operate in international waters."

plus the US knows the exact location of the ships for sure...





not

[Orangeer]

Would be more scared of these guys...

I am the Captain now.

[Ratamahatta]

[Trigger543]

I'm willing to bet their navy consists of 70 year old ships and possibly a few fishing boats. Not worried but good for them I guess.
