No sail zone?

Iranian warships dock at Saudi port - Yahoo! News

interesting strategy ...

think they might be placing mines?

or if there is going to be a fight they want it damage these other places?

They want to be able to strike these places if the SHTF?

Iranian warships dock at Saudi port
AFP – 3 hrs ago

Iranian naval ships docked on Saturday in the Saudi port city of Jeddah on a mission to project the Islamic republic's "power on the open seas," the Fars news agency reported.
The supply ship Kharg and Shaid Qandi, a destroyer, docked in the Red Sea port in line with orders from Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, it quoted navy commander Admiral Habibollah Sayari as saying.
"This mission aims to show the power of the Islamic republic of Iran on the open seas and to confront Iranophobia," he said, adding that the mission started several days ago and would last 70 to 80 days.
The commander did not give other destinations.
Iran's navy has been boosting its presence in international waters since last year, deploying vessels in the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden on missions to protect Iranian ships from Somali pirates.
Tehran also sent two ships into the Mediterranean for the first time in February 2011 through the Suez Canal.
Ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia, which have long been strained, deteriorated in late 2011 following US allegations that a foiled plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington had been hatched in Tehran.
Tehran has also called on Riyadh to reconsider its vow to make up for any shortfall in Iran's oil exports due to sanctions over its nuclear programme, saying Riyadh's pledge to intervene on the market was unfriendly.

I have 3 tractor trailer loads of Mexicans doing what they do, going under, over or through fences and stripping parts. In this case old Tomcats in Arizona, it's amazing what you can get with a couple of Chinese made adjustable wrenches and a Leatherman.

Were going to have 30 Persian Tomcats airborne by the end of the year.

My business model is based on Halliburton and Monsanto with a mix of Purdue chicken evisceraters.

Its a good thing I'm not president. I'd do a full scale preemptive strike on Iran, no holds barred. Then I would ramp up the pressure.

Of course! Why not? Every time we've done something like that in the past, it's certainly solved all our problems. Mandatory military service for poor people!

Now that just strikes me as peculiar. Do you feel personally threatened/harmed by the leadership of Iran? Pray tell, in what manner, such that mass murder is your preferred course of action?

Pity they didn't do that a month earlier. They could have moored near the John C. Stennis.

I really don't think military action will solve this problem. Cut off their money and let them rot.
