Iran's Guards launch aircraft carrier-scale warship amid tensions with U.S.: TV | |
2020-11-20 | |
Antagonism between longtime foes Tehran and Washington has risen since 2018, when President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... withdrew the United States from world powers’ 2015 nuclear deal with Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate and reimposed sanctions that have crippled the Iranian economy. A U.S. official told Rooters on Monday that Trump, with two months left in office, had asked for options on attacking Iran’s main nuclear site at Natanz, but ultimately decided against taking the dramatic step. The Islamic Theocratic Republicreiterated that any attack on it by the United States would face a "crushing" response. State television said on Thursday a "heavy, multi-purpose, and long-range warship capable of carrying all types of aircrafts, drones, missiles and radar systems" had been added to the Revolutionary Guards’ fleet. "Iran’s Shahid Rudaki warship is a mobile naval city capable of carrying ocean missions," state TV added. Guards navy commander Ali Reza Tangsiri told state TV that the warship would provide security for "maritime transportation lines, oil tankers, commercial and fishing fleets on the high seas". A statement published on the Guards’ Sepah news website quoted the elite force’s supreme commander Hossein Salami as saying the 150-meter-long warship "creates wider horizons for our navy to move across the seas". The U.S. Navy’s Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet declined to comment about Iran’s reported move when contacted by Rooters. Iran’s holy manal rulers consider the U.S. military presence in the Middle East a threat to the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s security. | |

#9 It's a converted ro-ro (roll on roll off car carrier) with some military geat sitting on the deck. Look for it to wander off to Yemen and deliver stuff to the Houthi. |

#8 In unrelated news, DJI released the second generation of their sub-250gm drones. You could operate those off a rowboat. |

#7 with a length of 150m, it would be smaller than the 1920s Langley also less than half the length of the current US carriers |

#5 Besides, I'm not a naval person, but I believe the magic isn't in the carrier (or just in the carrier) but the Battle Group which surrounds it. |

#4 It's a small freighter (4000 tons) that the Iranians placed a few military items. Iranians are the masters of the big talk / small cock. Here's how to build a expeditionary sea base. |
