IRAN DEPLOYS MASSIVE FLEET OF REALLY SCARY BOATS IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ
December 26 2011
Tehran, Iran – They said it was coming, and it came. Iran has deployed a massive naval force near the Strait of Hormuz as part of a 10-day drill designed to scare foreign powers in the region and let the world know that they are more than capable of controlling the region, which is essential to oil shipping.
Thus far, it is not clear how many ships Iran has deployed in the area, but it’s believed to be a lot and, Iran has warned, they have lots more if they need it. Already the vessels have run into conflicts with foreign forces, ordering a foreign helicopter away from the vicinity of the vessels with not one, not two, but three increasingly stern warnings which showed just how serious they are.
Later, Iran moved the ships all around the region, showing the world just how sea worthy their navy is and how capable it is of moving through water in deliberate directions, which Iran believes will give all potential enemies second thoughts about challenging them.
"To show off its might, the navy needs to be present in international waters. It's necessary to demonstrate the navy's defense capabilities," said Admiral Habibollah Sayyari of the exercises.
He also added that the sailors aboard are very tough and aggressive, most of them only eating very raw meat and being mean to women and children.
Being mean to women is fairly standard in Iran, but being mean to children is only a requirement for those seeking work in the armed forces.
The forces also have lots of missiles and guns on the boats, which will likely scare all kinds of people and already warned off at least two shipping vessels.
“Iran has, like any country, an obligation to protect her waters. Just because everyone else in the world hates them it doesn’t mean that they don’t have the same kinds of needs and desires and as any other country on the globe. No one would begrudge the United States or France, say, conducting naval exercises, and so no one should do that with Iran,” said Scrape TV International analyst Gustav Hander. “I will say, though, that it is much scarier with Iran. They have really big boats and they drive them really, really fast and that is pretty frightening. They come really close to other boats and then tell them to go away, that’s really scary honestly and it shows how tough Iran has become.”
Thus far, the United States has not moved into the waters near the exercises which may indicate that they are scared.
“If nothing else it shows that the country is more than capable of backing up their threats to close the Strait if war does break out. I mean what with all those big ships and missiles and things no one would dare try and confront them, even if they were already at war. I mean they would be crazy to do that, just crazy,” continued Hander. “Iran is certainly making a statement, a statement of crazy fear and that is going to inevitably trickle down to the rest of the area and just keep them out once and for all, if they’re smart.”
Iran has also painted big, pointy teeth on many of their ships. Some with blood dripping from the fangs, others have been painted with flames, angry flames, and skulls.
