TEHRAN (FNA) - Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari on Saturday reiterated Tehran's plan to deploy naval vessels near the maritime borders of the United States, and said Americans are not entitled to opposition as all nations have the right of voyage in international waters.
Speaking to FNA here in Tehran on Saturday, Admiral Sayyari said Iran is serious about deployment near the United States maritime borders and this rigidness has worried the US officials.
"Americans are worried about themselves. The Iranian army is present in free waters and will continue its presence," he said.
He said international rules and regulations entitle all countries to the right to freely sail and be present in the high seas, and added, "I ask if the United States maritime borders are not in free waters? If they are, then why should we not go there?"

Arm the torpedoes!!!
My first thought, too. Great opportunity to sink them all when the crunch comes, or it least it would be if we didn’t have a Muslim in the White House.
Sounds like they’re gonna try and smuggle the drugs in themselves..
I guess if they want to position a set of conveniently located targets, why complain?
The Iranian army is present in free waters and will continue its presence,” he said. He said international rules... ........??????? Uh? Floating Tanks and APC,s???
At the rate we’re dismantling our Navy, would not surprise me if Iran had a bigger one than ours in a few decades.
Do camels float?
I will be so damned happy when we have a real president in the White House. One who without question would bitch slap these barbarians back to Tehran.
Wait till the satellite passes overhead, then jam them and sink them.
Navy? What navy? We didn’t see a navy here.
Something like this wouldn’t have “worried” Reagan. In fact, I don’t seem to recall a similar incident when Reagan was leading this nation. He’s the one that worried our enemies, not the other way around.
I see some accidents coming for the Iranians.
Or launch a missile with a warhead to initiate an emp. Just thinking out loud. .
Bush was lax on Iran too. But Obama’s even worse. They (supposedly) attempt to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in a DC restaurant, and Obama’s response is to pull all our troops out of Iraq. The Iranians might be forgive for thinking that, with this President, they can do pretty much anything they want with impunity. So why shouldn’t they sail their warships up the Potomac?
“Navy? What navy? We didn’t see a navy here.”
Heh heh heh ... “what the hell would the IRANIAN Navy be doing way over here?” Heh heh heh...
