[bdslph]

that was for FUN what IRAN was doing , hahahah they really was scared US NAVY well to put it they said first they were half miles a way but later they said they were 2 miles a way they even bought bodyguards navy from other countries ,

Iran would not attack like that Iran know how to play it nicely and in a cool way

yes it is true Iran navy will be destroyed easily but not without a fight and inflicting damage and also many more will be ready to Martyrs

Iranian speed boats trailing a supercarrier, what on earth is Iran thinking? Lets be honest, Iranian navy will literally be turned to non-existent within 6 hours of a war. Iran is all hype and no action. They have been caught in their own bluffs so many times in recent weeks they've almost become a joke.

1. They said they were gonna close the Straitz if US carrier returned. Bluff.
2. They said they were gonna ban exports to EU if sanctions passed. Bluff.
3. There were other ones but I can't remember atm lol

Well you are not a good liar.
1-Iran said it will close the strait if US puts a total embargo and ban to Iran's oil exports.
2-Iran banned oil exports to France and Netherlands yesterday and told to 4 others they will be banned too if they don't sign long term contracts with Iran
3-It appears everything you don't remember is a lie too.

France and Netherlands don't even import their oil from Iran, let Iran sanction Greece or Italy then we'll talk. That's what I mean Iran's moves are all symbolic with no substance.

Yes they import oil from Iran.Maybe it's not that much but they do.I assure you oil exports to Europe will stop in near future if they don;t sign long term contracts.Europe will be the big loser because oil is not something that we can't sell to other countries than Europe.

What was the aim of shadowing the US vessel ?

Show of force or a show of ' irritant' level the Iranian Navy could be?

What did it achieve ?

Imagine Pakistan's navy came so close to Indian coast.Then would you still be a sitting duck?

I think iranian navy just showed US navy the middle finger....keep it on guys....

Both the illustrations are wrong - Pak navy and sitting duck.

My Q remains, besides being an irritant what else was achieved ?

I have no sympathy with the US on this yet I'd like to know what was the aim and what was achieved ?

 

[yahya07]

^That's the thing, I support Iran's nuclear program and their independent foreign policy but some of the stuff that Iran says and does are just plain stupid and counter-productive.

 

[Unbeliever]

Any funny moves and USS Abraham Lincoln is history.

Delusional much?

Lets hope tensions don't escalate. But if they do be sure that a carrier strike group is not made "history" that easy...

We are acting irritant?US has came over from thousands of miles away with 2 ACs,submarines destroyers and other stuff near Iran's maritime borders.It's natural and every country does what Iran has done.
Here is a part of news on RT:

Iran's navy never approached the battle group closer than half a mile, making a point to stay in the Iranian waters. Radar operators also revealed an Iranian drone and surveillance helicopter zooming in the Persian country's airspace near the strategic strait. A patrol plane buzzed over the Lincoln, said Rear Adm. Troy Shoemaker, commander of the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Force.
"We would do the same things off the coast of the United States… It's more than reasonable. We're operating in their backyard," he said.
Flanked by several choppers and enforced by the cruiser USS Cape St. George and destroyer USS Sterett, the American battle group passed the narrow strait without incident, reports the Associated Press.

Now what is your problem here?

Patrol boats vs Aircraft Carrier

Now lets all come back to earth and think rationally.

Irans regime has guts and is willing to shed blood, but their capabilities are not enough to win a war of attrition with the US and NATO.

They should negotiate while they have a chance, once the war starts they are going to get hammered.

When you are not powerful as your enemy,you will fight with everything you have and in your own way.Just because we don't have any ACs doesn't mean we should sit and watch.
