As its been said in military intel you deal with capabilities not intentions.
but that's clearly nonsense, otherwise you'd be more concerned about France than Iran.

Which is why the US knows they must keep France as a friend while they don't have to worry much about Iran.

On the scale of the more lunatic nuclear powers we have Pakistan and India followed way way back by Iran. And Iran doesn't even have the bomb yet.
You've got to love US priorities.

Spoken about Iran and intel, i cant find what ships Iran intended to send to the med. Despite of the political statemant of having balls and nerve, i had like to know what size of balls they want to put in the bucket.

Last night Iran stated it would push on with the deployement of ships in the MED

This was said before but was kind of blabla and we will see if they do. But they tried at least untill egypt stoped them.... someone is in control, guess its the militairy huh?

I was looking for reports on the boats it self, maybe they will come later in the days as the situation develops.

Cheers

It was one of those 1960s British made frigates and a supply ship I think.

I keep one eye on those frog leg eating, unbathed, surrender monkeys ever since we found their missiles in Iraq post sanctions.

The only nation I remotely trust is our 52nd state, the Arab Socialist Republic of Britonia...
