Iranian Navy commander vows to sink U.S. warships as Iranian war vessels enter U.S. waters

This new Peace In Our Time agreement with Iran is crumbling even faster than the Munich agreement Neville Chamberlain made with Hitler. “Iranian Navy Commander Vows to Sink U.S. Warships,” by Adam Kredo for the Washington Free Beacon, February 9:

A top Iranian naval commander threatened to destroy U.S. warships and kill American soldiers just a day after Iranian vessels approached U.S. waters for the first time in history.

“The Americans can sense by all means how their warships will be sunk with 5,000 crews and forces in combat against Iran and how they should find its hulk in the depths of the sea,” Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, the commander of the elite Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy, was quoted as saying Sunday in the regional press.

Fadavi issued these threats just a day after Iranian war vessels were reported to have approached U.S. maritime borders.

“Iran’s military fleet is approaching the United States’ maritime borders, and this move has a message,” Iranian Admiral Afshin Rezayee Haddad was quoted as saying by the semi-official Fars News Agency.

Iran dispatched the war fleet in “response to Washington’s beefed up naval presence in the Persian Gulf,” where American ships are stationed to help keep international shipping lanes safe, according to the report.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei also took aim at the United States on Sunday when he urged Air Force commanders to “know the enemy well.”

“The Iranian nation should pay attention to the recent [nuclear] negotiations and the rude remarks of the Americans so that everyone gets to know the enemy well,” Khamenei was quoted as saying in the state-run press.

“The Americans speak in their private meetings with our officials in one way, and they speak differently outside these meetings; this is hypocrisy and the bad and evil will of the enemy and the nation should observe all these cases precisely,” he said.

Iranian military leaders continued to threaten the United States – it’s principal nuclear negotiating partner – well into Sunday, when another top Iranian Navy commander claimed that the United States does not have the courage or ability to attack Iran.

“Were the enemy able to inflict damage on us, it would do so; [you must] rest assured that they can’t,” Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari told fellow navy personnel during a ceremony celebrating “the 35th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.”…

        If Allah is supposed to mean (The God)
        The indefinite articles (an) used before Allah would mean
        an (the God) or an ‘uncertain’ (the God)

        But it is all irrelevant because everyone knows that Muslims don’t really worship any god with their elaborate blasphemous displays

    Here is the way to interpret this a… I am in constant touch with my family back home. The country is in shambles economically. There are a group of hard liner totally against the nuclear talk. The Iranians have no choice but to concede on this issue as their oil production is almost at zero. Inflation is out to China. 65% of the population in under 35. Unemployment is at 40%. basically this regime is fighting to its survival. This is all a bunch of talks internally where the Iranians do not give one s… As him threatening our navy ships It is like the Central African Navy threatening our ships. It aint happening and to be honest I wish they did fire on one our ship that way we can take their navy out if 15 minutes or less. M

      I hope that the Iranian govt does have some sanity remaining in their collective brains. I think it’s inevitable that Iran (and may be Saudi Arabia) will obtain nuclear weapons. With the USA in possession of boomer type submarines which carry Poseidon missiles with multiple thermonuclear(fussion) war heads that can hit targets anywhere in the world, a new MAD (MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION) philosophy between the US and Iran can develop where each side can posture but not go beyond the point where some one will “press the button” each side will be destroyed – like the cold war era between the US and the former Soviet Union.

        Really? You think a country run by the suicide bomber mentality is a country we can trust in a mutually assured destruction scenario? Even if they did obtain nuclear weapons congratulations and welcome to 1945. We’re 70 years ahead of them. One nuclear weapon gets launched and you’ll see technology you didn’t know existed emerge. The only destruction that’s assured will be Iran’s.

        Feb 11, 2014 at 12:53 am

        OHIO class subs carry 24 D-5/Trident 2 missiles each, not Poseidon missiles. (Ohio’s – 24 missiles X 12 warheads per missiles = 288 warheads per boat. )

    One thing about the dictators of the Islamic “Republic” of Iran. Be it “talks” with the officials of I.A.E.A. or “negotiations” with the officials of the six world powers. The officials of the ruling clerics on Iran who are Rouhani, Ayatollah Khamenie and the mullah’s, the point being the officials of these Islamic clerics who engage in these “talks’ and “negotiations”will both have the outcome that will at best be actions of extreme futility. At its worse the results will be a disaster. This is because the rulers of this regime have their own kind of Islamic agenda about going nuclear and will not respond to reason. For religious fanatics can’t be reasoned with and religious fanatics they are. Thus in any dialogue with either I.AE.A. or with the six world powers the officials of those Islamic clerics will be very disingenuous and will dissimulate. In other words
    they will speak the truth only when it happens to suite them. The rest of the time they will be lying and saying half truths. To describe this in another way, Thomas Jefferson said it best when he explained “An enemy generally says and believes what he wishes.”

    Someone please tell me that Congress is aware of this, as this statement constitutes a declaration of war. I say send Kerry in there to talk to this idiot. “That’s a joke son”,
    Kerry…….”I’ll give you half of Israel if you will recall your warship and stand down.”

    How do you know that you are at war with a foreign nation.?
    Either they invade you or they threaten to attack you?
    Iran has threatened the U.S. ships in U.S.waters. This is a declaration of war. The U.S. should acknowledge that they are now officially at war with Iran and go and kick some ass, using whatever force is necessary as all is fair in love and war.
    But it’s not going to happen with the morons in the White House.

    Even quite deluded and brainwashed people posses the potential to plan and create quite dangerous situations. Take hitler and company, with millions of unstoppable soviet troops advancing from their eastern front, and the allies nearing from their west, they still acted as if just one more ditch, one more bunker would shift their fortunes and be saved. Time and again mankind has proven to have the enormous psychological blocks blinding us from an inescapable futility.
    These statements are obviously bluster and a distraction. Of course even ensign of the lowest rank understands that these ships do not present a major threat.
    The real and pivotal question is; Will the jihadist iraninan regime dismantle and abandon their quest for nuke factories ? Yes or no. Yes or no. Everything outside of this issue only serves to hide, complicate and distract from what indeed is the most serious challenge to world security and peace we have ever faced.

    • CornHolio says

      Feb 11, 2014 at 3:38 pm

      I think this is a little different. I doubt it’s just willful blindness and bluster. My guess is these guys probably know very well the Americans will turn them all to plasma with a button press, they just don’t really mind that outcome. More virgins for them.

      That’s the really scary part. Most Westerners – ignorant of Islamic thinking – probably figure it’s all bluster, that nobody would be so foolish as to risk certain death in an overwhelming retaliation, right? They want to live and live comfortably just like us, right? Right?

      It’s like the old Sting song, Russians. In it, he reassures the Americans that the Soviets are not the bogeymen they fear, because what “will save us me and you, is if the Russians love their children too.” But when the enemy loves death more than we love life…

    From the article. Quoth the Shiite Iranian: “The Americans speak in their private meetings with our officials in one way, and they speak differently outside these meetings; this is hypocrisy and the bad and evil will of the enemy and the nation should observe all these cases precisely.”

    Well: the current US admin is, of course, chock full of liars and fools, so it may possibly be true of the current lot; BUT given that Shiite Muslims are a byword for deceit even within the Ummah (that entity within which nonsense-and-lies, lying to oneself and lying to others, is totally *normal*), this statement is *also* a massive case of Projection.

    This Shiite Muslim, a member of the Religion of Lies and Nonsense, is projecting onto the Americans – onto the dirty infidel – the habitual behaviour, the deceit and twofacedness, of his *own* mob.

    “Netanyahu says he will continue to out Iran as a ‘terror state’ during US trip”

    JPOST.COM STAFF 02/10/2014

    Excerpt:

    Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Monday that the purpose of his upcoming visit to the United States next month is to warn against the Iranian threat and to discuss the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

    Speaking at Likud Beytenu’s weekly faction meeting, Netanyahu warned that Iran continues its role as a “terror state,” and therefore it must never be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.

    Obama has said point blank he sides with islam. I expect him to offer his surrender to them very soon! He has disposed of about every infidel general in his military. I wonder what the left psychopathic senate would do? More gun control? Outlaw gravity? repeal common sense? These days truth is hate speech to a democrat.

    This seems like a declaration of war to me. I take them at their word when they say they are going to sink our warships and kill our soldiers!!!! What is this president doing about this???? Maybe he doesn’t know about it yet, maybe he has not watched the news yet this morning!!!!!!! I mean he does get his news from TV like we do right???? He doesn’t get briefed by the secret service and the intelligence community, right????? This man is so unequipped to do this job, he just makes me sick. He is so arrogant and full of pride. The Bible says that pride goes before the fall, I can’t wait for his fall. We NEED him out of our White House!!!!!!!!!!!NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It is really frightful to see the unfolding of the American incompetence under the leadership of this semi Islamite Obama. Is there no one that can bring him to his political end? I read the comment that he is even getting rid of his “infedel” generals, is this true? and if so, to what extent?
    What passivity motivates the American leadership to accept this situation? Is there really no person / organization, Senator, Governor, ex President, or even a bright little school girl that can bring changes to this situation? Come on Hillary, even you would do a lot better, I am sure.
    Are you guys really so wrapt up in your own lives that you would really allow this character to walk all over you, your future, and your country? Or is it just possible that you are moving on the road to getting what you deserve?

  24. Geppetto says

    Feb 11, 2014 at 3:12 pm

    Tell me this is not a direct result of Obama’s obsequious behavior in dealing with these overblown, pompous cowards. They’re in for a big surprise should they attempt this, which is doubtful, but how many American servicemen will be killed in the process? Sooner or later these goons will have to be dealt with but when and by whom? I think we know the answer and they will be mindlessly and petulantly chastised severely for it. How dare they disturb the hornets nest and interfere with this “superbly crafted” diplomatic process, a “true chance for a peaceful solution,” a nuclear free Iran. So sayeth “The One.”

  25. Brock says

    Feb 11, 2014 at 4:35 pm

    I’m not worried about the capabilities of our military, but what I AM worried about is the leadership behind it. The greatest military machine the world has ever seen, could be allowed to suffer defeat by incompetent (if not traitorous) leadership. I sincerely wonder what the President would do if our forces really were attacked. Remember the men at Benghazi who were ordered to “stand down” when under attack. Can this president be trusted to defend our interests and our sovereignty?
