| U.S. Dismisses Iranian Long-Range Naval Reach |
| 2011-09-29 |
[An Nahar]  The White House Wednesday treated an Iranian claim that it would send ships close to U.S. waters with derision, saying it did not reflect Tehran's ability to project sea power far from its shores. "We don't take these statements seriously, given that they do not reflect at all Iran's naval capabilities," President Barack Obama's spokesman Jay Carney said. |

| #5 Again, until Iran devs an effective, potent nuclear arsenal of its own, it will prefer to stay on the Diplomatic, Media etc. strategic "defensive" AMAP ALAP. Its real threat is PROXY TERROR, e.g. the HEZBOLLAH + MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, ETAL. HARD BOYZ + ALIGNED ALREADY SETTING UP STAGING, MISSLE? BASES IN THE LOWER AMERICAS. IOW, IRAN'S PROXIES ARE ALREADY ACROSS THE ATLANTIC + IN AMER'S BACKYARD. |

| #3 I agree. Anything is possible. A pawn chess piece has been moved on the board. The Turks send a tub to do a gas survey. Iranians are sending some of their pawns as well to visit us. I'd suggest boarding the vessels for a look see. Anything is possible with this sort. Mind games. |

| #2 They're aiming for EMP capability. Haven't reliable space delivery assets, so they're threatening to detonate off the Eastern coast of the US. I'm not sure their crew understands that that's the threat, or what would happen to them if it was executed. Or perhaps they're true believers. |

| #1 If they turn one of their ships into a floating Chernobyl or giant nuclear torpedo, I assure you the laughter will quickly end. |
