TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran raised the prospect on Tuesday of sending military ships close to the United States' Atlantic coast, in what would be a major escalation of tensions between the long-standing adversaries.

"Like the arrogant powers that are present near our marine borders, we will also have a powerful presence close to American marine borders," the head of the Navy, Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said, according to the official IRNA news agency.

I would put my money on a fleet of Perry Class Ships again Iran’s best and I know what the end result would be.

EMP - my first thought as well.

Folks, go get the Jericho series...
it might be a documentary.

[WKUHilltopper]

C’mon, Iran. Quit talkin’ and lets dance!

Odumbo would only authorize helping them set up an attack, no actual shots taken in defense of our country.

[Marty62]

BOY THEY ARE JUST ASKING FOR IT AREN’T THEY.

NOW can we bring our troops home to protect US?

[GeronL]

don’t forget Cuba and possibly other... “neutral” nations.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

most of the bums posting on this thread don’t know what an EMP attack is...

(they will use google after seeing this and that is the point, not to insult anymore)

[Marty62]

No way will Zero protect AMERICANS on AMERICAN soil. He has made THAT abundantly CLEAR.

[Stormy_MS1]

Exactly! I can’t imagine he would allow the US to take any offensive action...just sit here and be a huge target!

[Clink]

Better than Googling it...read the book “One Second After” which envisions the aftermath of just such an attack. Very scary.

[jonno]

Not to worry, our CiC will open a dialog - schedule a sit-down...

[camle]

geez. i dunno. what do have that’s effecvite against a canoe?

[DeaconRed]

People forget:
Atomic Bomb:
Invented in America:
Tested in Japan - - - with great success.
This time we can test the MOAB off our Atlantic Coast. . . . .

Great book! I couldn’t stop reading!
