Of course it makes their panties moist. Imagine the disappointment and anger if an Iranian boat got to the Gulf of Mexico and the US Coast Guard was sent out to deal with it by dropping slops from a helicopter.

#3 ...Hahahahahahahahahahahah, no. They've promised to send ships to US waters on several occasions and the sad truth is they can't really make it out of the PG or the IO coastal waters.

#11 Iran doesn't have a Blue Water Navy, their ships don't have the legs to get here and they don't have the oilers or supply ships to resupply at sea.
