Iran's Guard attacks mock US carrier in drills near strait
Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's Revolutionary Guard launched large-scale naval and air defense drills near a strategic Gulf waterway on Wednesday in which dozens of speedboats swarmed a replica of a U.S. aircraft carrier.
The drill, named Great Prophet 9, was held near the Strait of Hormuz, through which one fifth of the world's oil passes. Iran's regular army carried out naval drills near the strait in December.
State TV showed footage of missiles fired from the coast and the fast boats striking the mock U.S. aircraft carrier. The drills, which also included shooting down a drone and planting undersea mines, were the first to involve a replica of a U.S. carrier.
"American aircraft carriers are very big ammunition depots housing a lot of missiles, rockets, torpedoes and everything else," the Guard's navy chief, Adm. Ali Fadavi, said on state TV, adding that a direct hit by a missile could set off a large secondary explosion. Last month Fadavi said his force is capable of sinking American aircraft carriers in the event of war.
The Guard's chief commander, Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, said the drills send a "message of (Iran's) might" to "extraterritorial powers," a reference to the United States.
Cmdr. Kevin Stephens, the spokesman for the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet in Bahrain, said the Iranian naval exercises began a few days ago and have had no effect on maritime traffic.
Stephens said the Americans were monitoring the drills, but downplayed the simulated attack on the carrier, saying the U.S. military was "not concerned about this exercise."
"We're quite confident of our naval forces' ability to defend themselves," he said. "It seems they've attempted to destroy the equivalent of a Hollywood movie set."
Iran is currently negotiating an agreement over its disputed nuclear program with the United States and five other world powers. The two sides hope to reach a framework agreement next month and a final deal in June.
Western nations have long suspected Iran is covertly seeking a nuclear weapons capability, charges denied by Tehran
^^^^^^^^^^^^ These are the people that obama is now conducting a deal with to let them develop THEIR OWN NUKES! OVER THE NEXT DECADE!!!
Once they get nukes their game plan is to nuke Israel, then threaten Europe and America to do as they demand ! They are religious nuts that believe Allah will give them victory so wiping out millions with nukes -no sweat!
Obama got his two terms primarily to weaken us as a nation and do this!
As Gaffer often confided in our private messages, the Obama-Dark Lord is out to advance Islam and destroy this nation..
Now leaks from Obama's ongoing nuke deal with Iran prove it.
Folks, we are now seeing the rebirth of the new Nazi's and they are called muslims!!!
Just look at how they conduct themselves, burning alive POW'S, CURRING OFF HEADS, murdering innocent women and children, selling captives, raping women, raping children, etc!
These are muslims!!!!!!
Remember that JV team Obama called them? While he made damn sure they were given time to grow into ISIS!!??
Wake up people!!!!!! --Tyr
