Your sh!th*le of a country has been a thorn in our side for decades, and it's time to turn Iran into a parking lot.

It will be interesting to see what happens if the Iranians do attack a US Navy vessel given the okay to defend itself. US Navy destroyers are lethal when allowed to be.

All of us I believe have seen video's of Iranian craft harassing one of our ships.
After receiving this threat it is my opinion that seeing one of these craft should be considered a threat and said craft destroyed.

I expect there to be numerous close encounters with "unarmed civilian" vessels over the next few weeks. Whether or not the Iranians are smart enough to make the first encounters using actual unarmed vessels or not has yet to be determined. I would not be surprised if they swarmed one or more Navy vessels where most of the swarming vessels were actually unarmed.

They're more likely to attack unarmed civilians.

Sounds like someone is asking for another lesson in civility.

Ohhh, please, please, please try it. Amazing how all of America's enemies (foreign and domestic) have suddenly gone brain-dead and are self-immolating. These guys are truly begging to get lit up in a massive New Year's fireworks show to end all fireworks shows.

Iran is like a rotting tooth. You can ignore it for only so long but ultimately you have to deal with it. Not pleasant but true.

The senior military official has just announced a planned attack on American targets. Pretty bold and brazen. Trump has already pre-warned you of what will happen in the very near future. Next time you take a ride down to the liquor store for a 12-pack and a bag of beer nuts don't be alarmed by a sudden flash of light and a loud noise as you are instantly incinerated and vaporized by four Hellfire missiles landing on the roof of your Toyota. OK?! Good.

This I'd like to see. Navy men, keep your Phalanxes cleaned and lubed.

Lemme guess- four camel humpers in a Sears fishing boat trying to Crazy Glue a mine to the side of one of our deadly destroyers?

I suspect that every dingy in your alleged navy is currently targeted - go ahead, make our day.

At Pearl Harbor Imperial Japan thought they had a plan (only they did not announce their plan to the NY Times). Japan had a pretty powerful navy but it didn't last long. Iran - your navy will last about as long as passed wind in a dust storm.

I have a 50 year old rowboat that is pretty beat up but still floats. I think I'll take a .22 and sink some Iraqi destroyers.

Isn't this what Pre-emptive Strike is all about? A credible terrorist country publicly threatens to take out Americans. That's a good enough reason to strike FIRST!

Those USN ships are not going to be just sitting there waiting to be hit and sunk. If the Iranians open fire on a USN ship, the next step for the USA is to take out the entire Iranian Navy’s vessels, either while in their bases, or while at sea.

Apparently Abu has no recollection of the past, say the late 80s, and what happened the last time our Navy decided to kick Iran in the posterior.

Nuke Tehran. It's been 40 years in the making. Anyone remember the Iranian embassy hostages? Payback's a ...

We have 52 targets ready to pop if they choose to do that. (52 hostages were taken in 1979)
Hopefully one of the targets is the revolutionary guard barracks.
Every Iranian that I know hates this government.

Ha! Come 'n get 'em, Gholamali. Our warships are at least fifty years ahead of the capabilities of yours, just like our civilization is about 14 centuries ahead. Your ships will make nice future wrecks for scuba divers to photograph. Oh, to be back in the US Navy again!

#12, you can't buy beer in these Islamic Schiffholes. All human pleasure is denied and that's why the people go insane around the age of 18. He will have to enjoy the bright flash of light while completely sober.
