Just a single day after Iranian warships approached U.S. waters, one of the country’s top naval commanders is threatening to kill American soldiers and destroy U.S. vessels. These remarks come on the heels of Iranian television propaganda threatening violent retribution against the United States and Israel if the country ‘is threatened’.
“The Americans can sense by all means how their warships will be sunk with 5,000 crews and forces in combat against Iran and how they should find its hulk in the depths of the sea,” Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, the commander of the elite Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy, was quoted as saying Sunday in the regional press.Fadavi issued these threats just a day after Iranian war vessels were reported to have approached U.S. maritime borders.
“Iran’s military fleet is approaching the United States’ maritime borders, and this move has a message,” Iranian Admiral Afshin Rezayee Haddad was quoted as saying by the semi-official Fars News Agency.
Iran dispatched the war fleet in “response to Washington’s beefed up naval presence in the Persian Gulf,” where American ships are stationed to help keep international shipping lanes safe, according to the report.
Is this an example of what the Obama administration has negotiated?

Is that kerry on the front deck?
Try it, all that will be left is an oil slick.
Yeah, duh. for a democrat.
They can sail their ships in international waters but should realize they can be blown out of the water in the blink of an eye. Too bad our president doesnt have the guts and would allow them to actually fire on something of ours and then make bengazi excuses.
He, Oliar will continue to be tested.
Their cardboard and paper mache battleships will be destroyed
be careful what you wish for iran
If 0bama lets it happen Or does Not Stand Tough…he is through.
The problem here is that the US wants to invade Iran & North Korea.
The two countries that are left from being ruled by the US.
They have the right to “DEFEND” their country.
We are invading, they are defending.
