No power dares violate Iran waters
2007-11-29
Navy commander has said that Iran's naval force is so mighty that no foreign power could ever dare violate our territorial waters.

All naval equipment is produced by Iranian experts using the state-of-the-art technology, Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari noted on Iran's National Navy Day on Thursday.

He emphasized the recent developments and increasing potential of the Islamic Republic's Navy.

Iran had achieved the technology of submarine battery manufacturing prior to some other countries, the rear admiral remarked.

All Iran's naval units benefit from modern equipment such as propellers, weapons and sensors, which have been produced by Iranian engineers, he concluded.

Washington has recently ratcheted up its war rhetoric against the Islamic Republic of Iran, accusing the country of pursuing a nuclear weapons program.

#19  Hey dumbies: any attack plan would engage those naval forces against the Ayatollahs. Professional elements of the Iranian armed forces, co-exist with Basij jihadists. That can easily be broken up. Most Iranians want regime change without occupation; and hopefully that is what they will get.

Many Arab states attended the Annapolis meeting because they wanted unity, in face of Iranian aggression. Syria - a puppet entity of the Ayatollahs - was last to signal willingness to attend. Their reps were treated as traitors. Even those Arabs who oppose the Iraq occupation, will at least give tacit support to regime change in Iran.

#18  As said or inferred before on the Net, and as per the Bolsheviks-Commies + German-Italian Fascists before them, looks like Iran's Mullahs, etc. are out to restore local Nationalism or Pride in Islam + Persian/Iranian "histoire'" [Rush Limbaugh]. ISSUE STILL REMAINS "GOD-BASED" + ISLAM-BASED/CENTRIC TOTALITARIANISM-GOVTISM, VERSUS ANTI-OBSOLESCENCE VITAL REFORMS BY AND FOR ISLAM'S OWN SAKE.

#16  Gee. They've been at it for a few years now and they have already mastered just about everything!

They'd better be careful with the bravado thingy. Seems to me not too long ago an entire nation got surprised when their expectations turned out to be unfounded.

#12  I take it that means that any Iranian subs or ships which are sunk would have to be by simply accident right?

After all no power on earth can sink one according to this.

#11  Would this be the one where the torpedo keeps drowning? I thought that was the Pali navy...

Beats the hell out of the old "banks of oars on a trireme" thing. Particularly for subs.
