The commander of the Iranian Armed Forces said on Wednesday that Iran has notified the two U.S. aircraft carriers deployed in the Persian Gulf that they are not allowed to stop in certain areas of the Persian Gulf designated by Iranian naval forces, MNA reported.

"We had previously notified them that they must not stop in the areas of the Persian Gulf which are considered areas of threat for us, and they heeded the warning," Major General Ataollah Salehi said in an interview with the Persian service of the Fars News Agency published on Wednesday.

Brave words...

Don’t worry Salehi. They could be in Lake Michigan and still kill you’re smelly goat humping arse.

Heh.
Not often a carrier will “stop” in the middle of the ocean.

Bluster.

LOL... my thought too. Carriers 'stop'?

LOL

A carrier is no threat when it is stopped.

At speed, and turned into the wind, you better watch out, though.

F**K YOU"Major General Ataollah Salehi", why don't you just paddle out into the Gulf with your inflatable pool toy around your fat ass and MAKE us?!?

Yeah, I didn't think you'd be wading into the water any time soon.

If we had a REAL President, we would have already smacked the livin' shiite out of those camel-humping sad sacks o' sh*t.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Southern Command, when asked about the assertion replied, “He said what?”

Empty bluster for local comsumption.

Thats like ordering cars on the nearby freeway to keep going,, then bragging about how powerful you must be,, because traffic keeps zooming by.

Hopefully it is the prelude to an iranian invasion of the UAE.

Yeah, like when you're driving down some street, and all of a sudden a dog comes zooming out of someone's yard at breakneck speed, gets within two feet or so of your rear wheel, barking madly. As you leave his territory, he drops back and gives a final, loud bark, as if to say "and don't come back!"

Nüsse?

Obama’s probably on the phone to the Pentagon telling the brass to comply with this demand.

Having been on 4 of them on carrier quals and 3 Vietnam vacations.... They don’t stop....except when they are beside a pier.
