#8 All Iran's naval units benefit from modern equipment such as propellers...

Wow. Propellers?
Operation Praying Mantis ring a bell there, Admiral? Look it up if it don't...

Beats the hell out of the old "banks of oars on a trireme" thing. Particularly for subs.

You learn well, young padawan.

#11 Would this be the one where the torpedo keeps drowning? I thought that was the Pali navy...

#12 I take it that means that any Iranian subs or ships which are sunk would have to be by simply accident right?

After all no power on earth can sink one according to this.

#15 Yawn, another hole in the water, it'll be filled in soon with their inshallah construction and maintenance, we only need to wait, point and laugh at the appropriate time.

#16 Gee. They've been at it for a few years now and they have already mastered just about everything!

They'd better be careful with the bravado thingy. Seems to me not too long ago an entire nation got surprised when their expectations turned out to be unfounded.

#18 As said or inferred before on the Net, and as per the Bolsheviks-Commies + German-Italian Fascists before them, looks like Iran's Mullahs, etc. are out to restore local Nationalism or Pride in Islam + Persian/Iranian "histoire'" [Rush Limbaugh]. ISSUE STILL REMAINS "GOD-BASED" + ISLAM-BASED/CENTRIC TOTALITARIANISM-GOVTISM, VERSUS ANTI-OBSOLESCENCE VITAL REFORMS BY AND FOR ISLAM'S OWN SAKE.

#19 Hey dumbies: any attack plan would engage those naval forces against the Ayatollahs. Professional elements of the Iranian armed forces, co-exist with Basij jihadists. That can easily be broken up. Most Iranians want regime change without occupation; and hopefully that is what they will get.

Many Arab states attended the Annapolis meeting because they wanted unity, in face of Iranian aggression. Syria - a puppet entity of the Ayatollahs - was last to signal willingness to attend. Their reps were treated as traitors. Even those Arabs who oppose the Iraq occupation, will at least give tacit support to regime change in Iran.
