    Navy Cruiser Seizes Huge Iranian Arms Cache in Arabian Sea
    https://www.military.com/daily-news...izes-huge-iranian-arms-cache-arabian-sea.html
    13 Feb 2020

    Boarding parties from the Navy's guided-missile cruiser Normandy stopped a dhow in the Arabian Sea earlier this week and confiscated a cache of Iranian-made surface-to-air missiles and other advanced weaponry bound for the Houthi rebels in Yemen, U.S. Central Command said Thursday.
    A video released by CENTCOM showed a small boat from the Ticonderoga-class Normandy approaching the dhow on Feb. 9 as crew members of the traditional Mideastern vessel gathered at the bow with arms raised in surrender.


    MY COMMENT: As I said in another thread: If any country has earned total destruction it is Iran. From 1979 and their taking of our embassy, over four decades of exporting terrorism, committing terrorism, and killing Americans directly and through proxies, they have earned utter destruction. They continue to destabilize the region.

    No country has earned "utter destruction", period.

    Vast caches of weapons have been smuggled into Lebanon, right under the noses
    of UN "inspectors." There's supposedly 140,000 missiles in Hezbollah's hands now.
    With the spread of surface to air missiles around the Islamic world we can see the
    beginning of a new form of terrorism - attacks on commercial airliners from the ground.
    Iran is, by definition, a terrorist nation. All this is going to end badly for everyone.

    Yet iran didnt attack us on 911 the Saudis did as some rich Saudis financed the attack.

    It isnt iran that makes up AQ or isis its sunni Arabs not Persians

    The terrorism against the west isnt shia but arab sunnis.

    Yet Iran is the greatest threat to America ? Utter nonsense

    Iran doesn't like our govt for a damned good reason. We interfered in their nation in the interests of profitting from their oil . This is a historical fact if facts matter.

    Our interventionist foreign policy that protects corporations is to blame for iran being against us.

    You would never like it if another nation did to us what we did to Iran ! But yet you blame Iran for what we did?

    Makes no damned sense at all.

    But stopping the shipment is ok in my book . Iran has no business in war in Yemen no more than we do.

    Iranians DID attack us in 1979 with the blessing of the government.

    The men who flew the 9/11 planes did NOT have the blessing of the Saudi government. They just happened to be Saudis.

    Saudi Arabia = Friends
    Iran = Terrorists

    Get it?

    I wasn't laughing at the weapons. I was laughing about the "Yuge cache."

    That's not 100% accurate. Factually correct but certainly spun.

    1. Western companies invested millions in developing an oil industry in Iran.
    2. The Iranians wanted it for themselves .
    3. A cia coup failed then a little later a military coup succeeded and that lead to the Shah.
    4. The Shah wasn't super nice and became unpopular, he started reforming but it was too late and along came the revolution in and the kidnapping of western hostages.

    Since then the the Iranian government has been far worse than the Shah ever wanted to be.
    So if you like thieving criminals by all means support Iran.

    They were not utterly destroyed.

    They were solidly defeated.

    Invasions today are unnecessary to defeat other nations.

    Saudi Arabia is surely not laughing about the SAM's, one of their Tornado warplanes was shot down this week. The Houthi's have video released of the strike, although KSA says it malfunctioned. Funny thing is, even when showing launches, the Houthi's are good at blurring out the launch mechanisms be it SAM's or Ballistic missile systems.

    Yes they were. Entire cities in Germany were ruble. No infrastructure working at all. No food or water, everything was trucked in by our military. Two cities in Japan nuked.

    Go back to school. Typical Leftist.

    To keep things in historical perspective, in 1953 the US DID overthrow the legitimately elected government, and we DID install the Shah.

    Ah, a deflection, never seen that kind of post from you.

    Let's see WHAT was taken, not on what vehicle it was taken from.

    "In addition to three surface-to-air missiles, the arms cache included 150 "Dehlavieh" anti-tank guided missiles, Iranian thermal imaging weapon scopes, Iranian components for aerial drones and unmanned small boats, "as well as other munitions and advanced weapons parts," CENTCOM officials said in a statement."

    So the ability to 'kill' 3 planes, 150 tanks and to provide an incredible push in force projection with modern comms devices. And what do you .... ?

    Try to deflect is a Post Modernist example of "Deconstruction".

    - Figure out ANY negative response from the story and disassociate it from the rest.

    - Play that negative aspect back at the "attacker" in condescending jovial manner meant to silence opposition or change the topic of discussion.

    Yup, people have caught on to the tactics which were used throughout the 2010's, this is the 20's and we are a 'roarin!

    Iran lost a lot of weaponry (cost) that was paid for by a continually shrinking economy. With the Corona Virus in China creating a massive loss of needed oil, they will lose that revenue stream as well.

    More and more Iranians wake up every day to the fact that their government and the Globalist Deep Stater's who support them, are marching them further and further off the cliff. America wants peace with them, by not attacking a single thing except a terrorist general, Iranians are seeing that their own government has LITERALLY killed more Iranians than the United States. BY A LOT!

    This can end any time, I would love to meet Iranians and travel to ancient Persia. The people are great, the government is horrible.

    Funny that you support the latter, not the former.

    We have Iran on the ropes without firing a shot on Iranian soil, couldn't be more "Total War" perfect if it was in fact the video game.

    Welcome to the forum.

    The Dehlavieh is an Iranian anti-tank guided missile system similar to the Russian Kornet, which can be found littered across the Syrian and Libyan battlefields.
