The Iranian Islamic regime has been empowered, emboldened, legitimized in its nuclear aspirations, and financed by Barack Hussein Obama. Yet it still considers the United States its chief enemy. One would think that Obama and the Washington establishment would learn from this. One would be wrong.
“Iran Threatens to Block U.S. Passage in Persian Gulf,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, May 9, 2016 1:12 pm
…Hossein Salami, deputy commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, warned in a recent Persian-language interview that the Islamic Republic would not hesitate to block U.S. entry to the Strait of Hormuz, which is the only passage from the Persian Gulf to the open seas….
“The [Americans] believe that our navy is dangerous. Indeed, that is true,” Salami was quoted as saying in a Farsi-language interview with Iranian state-controlled television that was subsequently translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, which monitors regional reports.
“In my view, this is the first time that the Americans have assessed the might of our navy correctly,” Salami continued. “If the Americans want to level threats against us, we can be very dangerous to them, as we have declared. They are aware of our tremendous might. We have increased and expanded our naval might, in order to overcome the military might of superpowers like America.”…
“We warn America, its partners, and its allies in the region that if they decide to use the language of threats against us, we will enforce the article on innocent passage in the 1982 U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, and we will prevent the passage of any ship or naval vessel that threatens us,” he said. “If they threaten us, this is what will happen, and we will take whatever steps are necessary.”
“After all,” Salami added, “we have no other enemy in the region except for America. The other countries and governments are not our enemies, and we are not theirs. Of course, they do not even have the potential to be our enemy.”

Walter Sieruk says
That Iranian commander ,Salami, by threatening to use force to block the Strait of Hormuz further reflects the terrible mindset of extreme gall of the Muslim tyrants in power in that heinously evil and oppressive Islamic tyranny of Iran. Furthermore, just two days ago “test firing” of missiles and likewise earlier this year “test firing” of other missiles, shows defiance of those mullahs and ayatollahs along those other Muslim villains in power in this tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran their total arrogant contempt for the US and the other Western nations in this so called “deal.” Those Muslim clerics and other Muslim tyrants in power in this cruel and oppressive Islamic tyranny are, in character, reflected in the Bible in Psalm 73:6-9. Which reads, “Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; the evil conceits of their mind know limits. They scoff and speak with malice; in their arrogance they threaten oppression. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.” [N.I.V.]
Shane says
Iran considers America to be their great enemy, but they like Obama the Dhimmi!

Bunch of hollow and BS threats. Let them and we send our mighty navy out there and take their 1950’s navy right out of the water. m

ScottM says
This is actually worth considering. The military under Obama the muslim has been castrated and cowered. I feel there will be a major war and unfortunately, the USA will not perform as well because of what the muslim in charge has been doing.
Bob says
Yes, the west generally, has been cutting armed forces down to a shockingly dangerous level! Real ‘heads in the sand’ stuff!
Carolyne says
The US would never send its navy there. Remember when Obama allowed the small naval vessel captured, along with our military personnel aboard it? It was Obama’s doing. We could have wiped out the Iranian navy with one blow. We didn’t. Why?
jihad3tracker says
For an explanation of why those Muslims WILL NEVER BE NICE TO OBAMA simply remember that Islam means submission.
America-hater weakling Barry Soetoro prostrated himself in the Iran Deal — and Allah’s fan club despises those who surrender.
Budvarakbar says
He IS a muslim – why in hell can’t people see that — it is right IN YOUR DAM FACES!!!
Carolyne says
Obama was born a Muslim, raised a Muslim by his Indonesian stepfather and his confused mother, and once a Muslim, always a Muslim—or die. Of course, he is a Muslim and as such his every move is calculated to advance Islam.

This is not, of course, always true–there are brave Anti-Jihadists who are Muslim apostates, such as Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Bosch Fawstin.
But most of the time you are right–and this seems to be the case with Barack Hussain Obama. If he is not a full practicing Muslim, he is certainly consistently Islamophilic.
Walter Sieruk says
Whatever the Iranian commander does or does not do he is still an stooge of the mullahs and ayatollahs as well as the other Muslim tyrants of Iran. Furthermore it also need to be remembers that the entire constitution of the regime, that so falsely and inappropriately has the word “Republic int its title, is actually based in the Koran or as some people call it the Quran. Therefore since the foundation of this current Iranian constitution based on the Quran it stands to reason that if the Quran is a farce and a hoax this whole Islamic regime is based on a falsehood a farce and hoax. His raises an important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The jihadists use many verses from the Quran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. There, the question is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.
Politicallyincorrectistruth says
Just like the bible. They do not contain anything other than what you would expect from the average man of that time. Some of the claims in the Koran are more hilarious than the bible though.

Politicallyincorrectistruth
What a long moniker.
What is your point about bringing up the Bible here?
Here is something hilarious.
Sam Harris
Atheist Sam Harris mocks the Virgin Birth of Jesus but when pressed to defend his position one would at least assume he would have carefully thought out his reasoning but instead he squirms and makes up a sorry excuse to support his impulsive conclusion.
But, it gets worse.
How does Sam arrive at his “rational” conclusion?
Atheist Sam Harris goes to — (the Koran) as his proof.
Get Real, Sam.
Did I forget to mention that Sam Harris is a leading —– ATHEIST?
Furthermore even his supposed (holy book of Islam) source says nothing of the sort.
Making it up on the fly is a LIE.
Fact-Checking Sam Harris: Islam and the Virgin Birth of Jesus
Carolyne says
I am an Atheist, although certainly not a “Leading” one. I do not believe is such things as virgin births, but that does not prevent me from recognizing the danger Islam poses to civilization and Obama’s part in it.
I really don’t care what others believe. If it works for them to believe fairy tales, fine.
Jay Boo says
Walter
Shouldn’t you be using Allah when you refer to Islam’s supposed deity.
Angemon says
Let the Iranian paper wolf huff and puff. This is either propaganda for internal consumption (much like his bosom buddy, Putin, does) or they’re dangerously un/misinformed about the capabilities of the American Navy (despite all Obama’s policies).

It is the first one. Bunch of BS for domestic consumption which most Iranians don’t give a….about. M

Great excuse to take out some centrifuges and nuclear reactors.

Looks like it is time for America to hand over more money to Iran to keep them happy.
Budvarakbar says
At least you see what’s has been and will probably keep happening!
billybob says
I recall when Saddam Hussein made simpler threats against the USA back in the old days of the Iraqi invasions. He became a hero to Muslims everywhere for standing up to Uncle Sam. They egged him on – to his ultimate demise. These Iranians may suffer from the same susceptibility to ego, and act in the same way, and surely then will suffer the same ultimate demise.
That is because their world view is not based on reality. We must never forget that, when dealing with Muslims. Don’t expect them to act rationally.
billybob says
I recall when Saddam Hussein made _similar_ threats
Budvarakbar says
Sooo— after umpteen deaths all I see is that we got rid of Sadaam for pappy Bush, not one drop of oil — and the place has been turned over to the Iranians – curtesy their plant in the WH.
Never forget folks — the SOB’s all read the same dam Koran from Gibraltar to the P.I.
Carolyne says
Bud, you are right. We achieved nothing with the Iran war nor the Afghanistan war, except make it possible for ISIS to come into being and we have a worse problem on our hands, They are now invading Europe and North American. I, too, believe the second Gulf War was retribution by George Bush because his father was targeted–ineffectually as it turns out.
Westman says
Sooner or later they will make the Gadaffi “line of death” mistake or keep working on a bomb and lose a good portion of their navy and perhaps even experience a surgical strike on the leadership by the US or Israel.
When irrational people run the government of any nation, war is not far behind.
Guest says
If Obama wasn’t a wuss their regime would be a pile of ashes by now.
FuturePresident says
When I’m president I will show other countries we will not be intimidated by brute force and remind them if they want to go to war with us. Then America will be the one who wins.
Wellington says
Iran’s version of Baghdad Bob.
mortimer says
With that remark…”other countries … do not even have the potential to be our enemy” … he exceeds Baghdad Bob.
That would be news to China and Russia.
Turbo says
And one remembers too, the real power behind the US “presidency” is in fact an Iranian (Val Jarrett). Hmm.. Might help make some sense?
Budvarakbar says
Another one here who has caught on!
Carolyne says
And don’t forget that Hillary Clinton’s best bud is Huma Abedin, who, while born in the US of Saudi parents, was taken to Saudi at a very young age and returned to the US only to attend Georgetown. Her late father was one of the founders of the muslim Brotherhood and her mother is still active in it’s women’s auxiliary. IMO she is a Muslim plant and Ms. Clinton is her willing puppet.
RM says
Obama and Kerry just gave them $150 Billion. They have got to be the two most stupidest people on the face of the planet.
Carolyne says
Kerry is stupid–his basic career is marrying super-wealthy women. Obama is a stooge for Islam as he is one of them.

This is laughable–remember Iran’s mock US aircraft carrier?
“New moderate Iran is building fake U.S. aircraft carrier for propaganda purposes”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/03/new-moderate-iran-is-building-fake-u-s-aircraft-carrier-for-propaganda-purposes
But ever since we forced US sailors to surrender to these buffoons, they have of course been emboldened:
“Iran mocks captured US Navy sailors as fat, immoral, and weak”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/02/iran-mocks-captured-us-navy-sailors-as-fat-immoral-and-weak
Britain has done just the same with their naval personnel–no wonder Iran is swaggering. We should have just blown these creeps out of the water.
Westman says
The glaring reality is that “twelver” Shia’a Islam is only 10% of the Islamic world. No other viable Muslim country will miss them, a realization that seems to be missing in Iran’s boasting. The Saudis would actually pay to have Iran destroyed by a third nation. It is no accident that the Saudis have back-door military communication with Israel and allow US bases – it’s all about protection from Iran’s nut case tyrants.
Let’s hope the citizens of Iran throw off these bush-faced monsters before they have to die for them.
mortimer says
If the US offered the Iranian generals substantial incentives to overthrow the mullahocracy, I wonder how many would consider it.
Buying out the generals would be much cheaper than ongoing hostility. They are all probably involved in crimes that would have to be prosecuted if they were caught.
Westman says
I think you’ve hit on a truth, Mortimer – the generals don’t want to lose power because that also means losing influence and wealth.
Muslim controlled societies, unlike democratic trading societies, are unable to rapidly grow their economies due to prohibited inventiveness and Islamic parasitism. Imagine what it does to an economy when both taxes and zakat are obligatory and religious leaders can arbitrarily make demands?
In this kind of economy there is no golden parachute for the generals unless they properly submit to the Islamists. They are not of sufficient character to overthrow the Dictator.
Carolyne says
Their faces are more Carteresque, but there’s no difference.
CogitoErgoSum says
The zebibah on Salami’s forehead is an indicator of the mentality of the man. The disfigurement on the outside is probably nothing compared to the damage he’s done to his brain by banging his head to the ground so forcefully so often.
Westman says
And it’s the prefrontal cortex that controls impulse. I remember that one of Iran’s nuclear negotiators did a lot of yelling for Kerry’s benefit. He must have done too much athletic praying.
SD says
Iran has every right to be concerned afterall theyve been threated by US politicians and officials publicly for over 20 years. The real question is why is an American rowing his boat into the gulf of Persia in the first place which is 8000 or so Km away from US soil and would Americans feel comfortable if Iranian warships patrolled your coast regularly?
Is it ok for Iran to have Military bases in Canada, Mexico, Panama etc.?
Look at what the USA has done to the people of Iraq. 500000+ dead. Americans have learnt nothing from it. You lust to invade Iran, Iran is not Iraq, they yave had 10+ years to watch and learn how Americans fight, they are ready for you. Be smart keep your sons and daughters safe in America. Use the trillion or so that this war would cost to finance college educations, better roads and infrastructure. Make America great again.
CogitoErgoSum says
SD, does Canada, Mexico, Panama, etc. WANT Iranian military bases on their territory? I don’t think so. Do Americans fill the streets at government sponsored hate rallies shouting “Death to Iran?” Not that I’m aware. However, you are right in that we Americans should be smarter and greater. We have had 40 or so years to see the way Iranians fight and our leaders still have not learned anything about how to deal with the devious, lying bastards who are running Iran. When we get smarter leaders we will be great again … and you will hear us shouting.
DP111 says
Saddam and Iraq too thought they could make America wade in a sea of blood.
What is it with these Muslims? All boast. America can destroy Iran with just its little finger without the need for an ad break.
