#1 Did they hire the NORKS propaganda writer? Also what are these vessels those speed boats with a couple heavy machine guns? I bet they can't wait too have a turkey shoot with the Phalanx system.

#4 Iran says it has 100 vessels for each US warship

This is a problem. However, there is a solution: Predators/Reapers

Given our drones, we have 100 missiles for every one of their torpedo boats.

#5 Bathtub floaties don't count. They might have 100 vessels but if they should attack, every port they have will be gone as well as their fuel supply. They will get about 24 hours use out of them, if that.

#6 The former naval chief for Iran's Revolutionary Guard said the country has set aside 100 military vessels to confront each warship...
