Iranian Navy launches show of force off U.S. coast

Well, it sure does make you wonder what would happen if the Iranian Navy decided to run war games exercises in international waters in the Gulf of Mexico...

U.S Navy is not in an excellent position in the Persian Gulf to threaten Iran's Navy.

Iran has a bunch of small ships and land-sea missiles with Russia/Chinese/Ukraine radar systems.

I don't think Iran is worrying too much.

In the opean seas the U.S Navy would crush all the world's Naval powers combined. In a small body of water with not sufficient dept, the U.S Navy is vulnerable.

That was the point!

Imagine the stink that would be made if the Iranian Navy was running war games exercises off the US coast in the Gulf of Mexico.

But for some reason, nobody (except for Iran) seems to have a problem with us running war games exercises off the Iranian coast.

Double Standard??

Actually, after looking at the map, I don't think my "Gulf of Mexico" comparison would be a good one. It's more like if they were launching war games exercises in the Long Island Sound.

I got it. I was just shocked to see that and it really got my attention.
Yep, things would be a lot different if the situation was reversed.

So are we now built up for the strike? Not much mention in the news this time.
