Iran announced on Tuesday that it has put the Revolutionary Guards in charge of defending the country's Gulf waters, in what appeared to be a hardening of its stance in the vital oil route.

Yeah isn’t the word vaunted supposed to preceed Republican Guard whenever they are mentioned? I mean Iraq’s “Vaunted Republican Guard” were such fierce fighters after all.
Good.
They can die first.
Well, considering that the Iraqis and Iranians fought each other for eight years and neither side came out victors yet the US kicked Sadam’s military in, what, 2.7 seconds … bring it on Iran. ;-)

7 little, 6 little, 5 little gun boats........

I thought the Revolutionary Guard had the primary responsibility for defending the mullahs.
I’m sure they will photoshop a bunch of WW2 ships claiming the Iranian fleet is performing war games.
I think that's exactly the reason why the Revolutionary Guards were singled out by US as terrorists. They are the actual forces of the Islamic Regime in Iran.
