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.

#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.
