#1 I'm sure the USN will be happy to escort them anywhere they want to go - especially if they come within missile range of the eastern seaboard. (can you say EMP attack?)

It's a nice navy ya got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it.

#6 "Soon it will be present in the Atlantic Ocean" > which is why, in part, Iran needs Syria = Baby Assad; + Lebanon = Hezbollah-dominated Govt.

Iff Iran can't break the natural andor geopol bottlenecks as per Mediterranean + Southern Africa, it have to satisfy itself wid the Indian Ocean + beyond, aka CHINA + INDIA + SOPAC.
