Iran dispatched subs to Red Sea

Share:

Iran ordered submarines to the Red Sea to “collect information and identify other countries’ vessels,” the semi-official Fars news agency said Tuesday.

The report, citing an unnamed military official, failed to specify the types of submarines and the numbers dispatched but said they accompanied warships from the navy’s 14th fleet to the Gulf of Aden last month.

The officials said the contingent then left for the Red Sea “to continue its mission.”

In May, the country’s naval commander, Rear Adm. Habibollah Sayyari, said the country had dispatched navy warships to conduct anti-piracy patrols in the Gulf of Aden, the government-supported Press TV said.

In February, the Islamic Republic sent two warships through the Suez Canal, saying they were on a friendly mission. At the time, Israel described the move as provocative.

In August last year, Iran announced the addition of four new Ghadir class submarines to its fleet. At a ceremony at the time, Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said the new submarines would help transfer special forces to detect enemy vessels and identify targets.

    And if there is a war, you better believe that two regimes will go in, and only one will come out alive. The Ayatollahs better reconsider.

    You know, if they would just leave the red sea, a really sensitive environmental location, they could be sunk elswhere with much less damage.  And then very easily forgotten.

      Well it would be a terrible war. Many lives would be lost on both sides. The only difference is that, as usual, the Israelis will be fighting for their existence, while the Iranians will be fighting for ending our existence. So I think, as usual, our motivation for winning will be much greater.

      Not only that, but Israelis love their government. They might all not like Netanyahu or the Likud, but they like “the regime”. There would be broad public support in Israel for a war against Iran if they were to shoot a missile from one of these submarines coming towards our shores. On the other hand, both in the Green movement revolts of two summers ago, as well as the protests a few months ago, there seems to be many many Iranians who are dissatisfied with the regime, and just like the disgruntled serfs living under Czarist Russia in 1917 who were dragged into a war that had nothing to do with them and revolted against a tyrant, so too will the Persians. The Persians aren’t stupid. They see the protests all around them. So many people achieving freedom while they’re left behind living in medieval times. Dragging them into a meaningless war with Israel may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back,

      Plus, behind us, we have America, the strongest nation in the world, with its 7 million influential Jews and mostly pro-Israel populace, who currently has hundreds of thousands of troops in Iraq, and Afghanistan, right next door to the ayatolahs. If Israel is attacked, they would not hesitate come to our aid, and their strength would tip the scale far in our favor.

      Also, don’t forget that Israel probably has nukes. And coupled with our “never again” paranoid Holocaust mentality, if it boils down to them or us, we’ll make the choice without even having to think about it.

      Worth mentioning too is the tacit understanding that the Sunni states (particularly Saudi Arabia) have, siding with us if Iran were to attack. This includes letting us use their airspace and I’m sure other secret assistance.

      I imagine Hezbollah would attack Israel to protect their masters if war broke out. It would probably mean the end of them too, unfortunately with the baggage of many dead civilians, as per their “human shield” tactics. Netanyahu’s government is much more hawkish than Olmert’s, and if a war were to start against Hezbollah, they wouldn’t stop until the job was done.

      I don’t think Iran would be able to persuade Hamas to join in. They have too much to lose and nothing to gain. Plus, in the recent months, they’ve bee shying away form the axis of evil, and returning to the embrace of the Sunni world, especially Turkey and Egypt. However, if for some reason they do join, Israel would for sure reoccupy Gaza and finally remove Hamas from power. This would be to the benefit of the Gazans, as with Hamas out and Israel in, they could left the miserable but necessary blockade.

      Perhaps Iran is trying to provoke Israel with submarines at this specific time in order to divert media attention away from their friend, Syria, while they slaughter their own people. Or perhaps its in order to have an excuse to take away even more rights of their own people. In any case, as usual, Israel can’t afford to lose, and won’t lose.

      The war will probably last a long time. Damage on all fronts (Israel, Iran, Lebanon, maybe Syria) will be extensive. Many tens of thousands, perhaps hundred of thousands will die. In the end, N. Israel, S. Lebanon, and most of Iran will be in ruins. Hezbollah will be all but annihilated. Iranian regime will have crumbled. I imagine by then the Syrian regime will have crumbled too if it hadn’t already through protesters.

      Perhaps though, good will come of this. Until 1979, Persia was Israel’s best friend in the Middle East, and with the ousting of the Ayatollahs, perhaps friendly relations can be established again. And with “the resistance” gone from Lebanon, perhaps the reason for continued hostility will be gone as well, and we can re-implement the May 17th agreement of 1983, which called fro peace between our two great nations.

    I advise your not to send you diesel powered subs because they will be spotted 100 miles away. I think he is BS-ing. You know Diesel leaves a trace in the water and makes a lot of noise so its easy to spot or did the Ayotallah get this diesel from a holy well God told him about? Wait until you have nuclear powered subs then send them and maybe people will care…. As for eblashko comment, man relax I think he knows what would happen if they attack israel. A better and less expensive operation could include Iraqi and Afgan insurgents starting an insurgency on both sides of Irans border now. Start a Holly Sunni war against Iran funded and Controlled by the U.S. They would not dare enter and face off with the U.S Army and Marines in both countries.  After all my mos was MI and we like to come up with cheap, efficient ways of getting rid of garbage.

      You Intellegence guys really are crazy!!!! When I was in the Air Force we called MI guys spooks and weirdos but the facts on the ground have proven crazy ideas work best. No disrespect at all but you guys really are nuts and smart at the same time! I looked over your comments and you truly are smart and crazy man! You clearly are educated and have a rugged way of presenting your self some times. Its scary man! How do you come up with this stuff? Its amazing to tell you the truth! Insugency on both ends of the border? It would work and basically we could act nutral by killing a few so called insurgents now and then and confescating weapons every few months. The problem in Iraq is the Amount of Shia would lead to a civil war that may spill into Syria and Lebanon unless it starts after the regime in Syria falls. Im sure your demented minds would already know that. I like you man but you and most MI guys are nuts! Afriend of mine in the Air Force tried to get into MI and he was told he wasnt radical enough and should stick to being a pilot. I didnt Fly and dont have a crazy mind so I just stuck to being a lawyer for the Air Force.

        You were a jag officer? You got accepted into the Jag program and Im smart? Man you guys are like a walking encyclopedia! I dont know if I should thank you for calling me crazy and smart or tell you to go to hell. As an officer in the Army I cant disrespect a brother in arms so ill just thank you. P.S I know MI guys are nuts and basically we dont get much respect in the armed services (because we cant talk about what we do and people only see the so called dirty things like interrogations) but I also know its because its hard to get accepted and most people dont have the balls to do what we do. I was actually branch detail so I executed plans and had no part in the planning. We do a lot of recon and then go out with the unit we are attached to and execute whatever the S3 officer tells us to do. I have a plane to catch in 4 hours and will finally be home in Sunny Ca so its been nice talking to you buddy.
