"Iran Wants to Pick a Fight"

If you think for a minute that Iran doesn’t pose a threat to the United States in the Persian Gulf, then take a look at all of the propaganda spread inside their own country.  

Make no mistake, they call us the “Great Satan.” 

They chant “Death to America!”

They have no qualms with hating us and what we stand for…

Year after year since the Iranian Revolution forty years ago, they have continuously threatened to shut down the Straits of Hormuz. In 1988 they challenged us in what was then known as Operation Praying Mantis. In a matter hours we managed to reduce their Navy to being merely non-existent. Now they are attacking merchant ships and oil platforms once again.

Operation Praying Mantis was an attack on 18 April 1988, by U.S. forces within Iranian territorial waters in retaliation for the Iranian mining of the Persian Gulf during the Iran–Iraq war and the subsequent damage to an American warship.

Now they come with renewed threats. Iran TV cartoon showing a Ghadir sub sinking a US aircraft carrier

Iran airs computer-generated animation of US aircraft carrier and four destroyers sunk by Iranian Ghadir-class submarine.

The video opens with the aircraft carrier cruising on an open sea escorted by four smaller ships and carrying two planes on its deck. A green periscope bearing an Iranian flag then appears, sinister music begins playing, and one by one, the American ships disappear beneath the surface.

At the end of the animation, a titled reading "40 Years [For the Iranian Revolution]" appears, and a narrator says: "Our Iran has the technology to manufacture very advanced Ghadir-class submarines."

But for all intensive purposes, we know this isn’t even close to reality.  As a child I remember playing with plastic boats in the bathtub, just like the Ayatollahs of today. It's called "roya", or a dream in Persian and can easily turn into "kabus", or nightmare when reality sets in…

So with further ado, Iran this message is for you …
