Iran’s Staggering Incompetence: The Islamic Republic Does It Yet Again

May 14, 2020 3:00 pm By Anjuli Pandavar

When a US drone strike killed Iranian terrorist general Qassim Soleimani in January, the clamor of condemnation of President Donald Trump eventually gave way to the more sober assessment that the US had shot and killed an Iranian general plus four other top-level terrorist leaders in a single military attack without any of its soldiers being anywhere near the target. The latest is that the US military has just improved on that legendary accomplishment.

TV7 Israel News reported on 12 May 2020:

An Iranian navy frigate accidentally struck a friendly Iranian vessel with a missile during a naval exercise in the Gulf of Oman, killing at least 19 sailors and wounding 15 others.

According to Iranian state television, the navy frigate named Jamaran fired at a training target, which was released by a support ship, named the Konarak. The report noted, however, that the support ship stayed too close to the intended target and was hit instead.

So not only do US soldiers not have to be anywhere near the target for Iranian soldiers to get killed, they no longer need to fire any shots, either. It remains unclear whether Iran will retaliate, but the Ayatollah Khamenei’s inbox is reportedly jammed with Democratic Party and Hollywood emails begging him for forgiveness and mercy.

    Instructions on a box of Iranian fireworks: ‘Light the blue touch paper, then stand real close!’

        This was actually a Ukrainian airplane–most of the passengers were Iranian, though.

      Didn’t Iran just sink one of their own warships by friendly fire?

    This is the lot that claims to have built a portable device that can detect this Covid – 19 at 100metres & is 80% accurate, just a couple of weeks ago!

      Why not stand 80m away to get that full 100%

        It is more islamic to stand 100 meters away.
        80 meters is reserved for kuffars only.

    I hope the Iranian military wake up soon and neutralize the tyrants who are destroying their country in the name of a pedophile psychopath.

    These clowns keep threatening the US but when they fire a rocket, there is a 50/50 chance that they will hit one of their own. Extreme arrogance and extreme incompetence

    Iran was under US dictatorship from 1954 – 1977, when the CIA and the Brits eradicated the democratic Mossadegh government to lay their greedy hands on Iranian Oil and set up rhe puppet Pahlavi regime.

    When Shah Reza started to emancipate Iean from the US Tyranny, the USofA quickly instigated a violent uprising – consistent with with their regime change strategies.

    As almost always with these US-machined uprisings (Korea, Vietnam, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan etc.) the plot backfired and an unwanted regime was sucked into the power vacuum, in 1979, the Islamic Republic took over.

    And ever since, Iran has suffered from another dictatorship and the USofA permanent efforts to combat it.

    When will you people ubderstand that it is easily possible to hate both the US-“empire’s” and the Islamic dictatorship. It is not a binary choice. Tyrants are tyrants, whatever colour.

    The world is tired of of ideologue tyrants trying to impose their obscene ideas onto humanity.
    Be they US-American, national socialist, fascist, islamic, communist or whatever.

    Just leave us alone and let us build our societies the way we deem fit ourselves!
    Stop trying to tell us what to think

    In the words of Frederic II, the great gay King of Prussia:
    “Ein jeder soll nach seiner eigenen Façon leben und glücklich werden!“

    (Let everybody live and be happy in his own way!)

    Down with Empires! Long live a Multipolar World!

      Go ahead and build. Nobody is stopping Iran from doing that. However, threatening other countries with annihilation is not cool. Threatening shipping in the straits of Hormuz is not cool. Those are NOT part of building. Invading other countries like Syria to build up missile bases is also not cool. Exporting terrorism to other countries is also toxic behavior.

      Those things WILL result in retaliation. I wish the Iranian people all the best. Just as the US should leave Iran alone, so too should Iran leave the US and its allies in the region alone.

      That’s all that has to happen. And then there will be peace. And then if people want to do better still, maybe they can ally themselves with Israel. They are a powerhouse of technology, medicine, and the arts. They have a lot to offer.

      What a load of claptrap from Patrick B. Ludwig. His claims that it is United States that has installed Communist and Islamic tyrannies all over the world is just grotesque–but this very much fits his egregious posting history.

    ”It remains unclear whether Iran will retaliate”
    Many a true word is spoken in jest. However, I’m sure the retaliation is just a matter of time.

    This comes from the leaders that are blessed by Allah and who believe they are superior to all other men. Oops something went wrong with their theory. I guess the question is if they are the best of men, we know women don’t count in Islam, then why are islamic countries run so poorly and mostly a form of dictatorship. One thing for sure not many people are wanting to migrate to Islamic countries.
