This is so ridiculous, It's getting to the point that when anybody farts Iran takes it as a threat!
So you would feel comfortable with a foreign country puting warships and military bases all around you while at the same time calling you a part of the axis of evil?
yeah, they are probably being paranoid, the west has only ever had the interests of Iraqi, Afghani and pakistani peoples best interest at heart.
I am sure the Iranians feel safe in the cacoon of protection offered by the west.

So how come China is on Iran's side, they're not muslims or terrorists?
Surely if there is a majority vote for sanctions, then so what if China acts like a Muppet!

While I agree an Iranian general sitting on the shoreline couldnt spot 90warships.. Iran has UAV's, space tech and sub's/ships themselves.
plus, Isnt the US's major navy base in Bahrain? wouldnt Iran have spies watching this area?
Don't be too surprised if there's a nuclear test misfire soon. Some secondhand black market purchases of suspicious pedigree.

Might that be from Pakistan? How many Pakistani military officers would become willling to ship a ready warhead or two for Khamenei to play with.

International waters bud and its not like Iran is the ONLY country in the area.....there are LOTS of countries in the region. So yes, Iran is PARANOID.

Still a long way to go before they get the Shah's son on the throne, but they are still hoping to before they all reach the nursing homes!
Supercavitation is the use of cavitation effects to create a large bubble of gas inside a liquid, allowing an object to travel at great speed through the liquid by being wholly enveloped by the bubble. The cavity (the bubble) reduces the drag on the object, since drag is normally about 1,000 times greater in liquid water than in a gas.

You should inform your friend the world has changed in 30 years. He may think Israel is the centre of the Universe and that anyone even remembers the late Shah had a son.
30 years is a long time in the modern world. A lot of things changed between 1915 and 1945. A lot changed between 1979 and 2009.
When you and your friend learn to manage respective obsessive-compulsive disorders and find out what has happened in the last two three decades you'll be in for some surprises.
But feel free to claim I'm a Zionist infiltrator disinformation agent or some such. Some people around here enjoy this children's book approach to world events.

Michael, Michael my dear Zionist Infiltrator Disinformation agent or some such friend, you know I never hold these things against you!
Being a genuine Royal in Possession of a Throne like the Peacock Throne that spans not just centuries but nations and dynasties is never irrelevant.
I guarantee you this guy can pick up a girl with credentials like that a whole lot easier than you or I can.
He can also get Presidents and Queens, and Emirs, and Pashas, and Prime Ministers, and Emperors to not just return his phone calls but answer them.
If you have followed news accounts at all, and traced half the propaganda in the various press and Internet on Iran its actually emanating from the Prince’s various foundations, organizations, and media outlets he owns and controls.
Now do you think he is spending a fortune to destabilize the regime in Iran out of the kindness of his little old corrupt black heart?
It’s very sad we can never have an intelligent intellectual exchange on these intriguing power plays and world events because of your part time job with the IIDF.
I love you all the same though!
No one in Russia longs for the Romanovs, no one in Iran gives a damn about some useless twit son of a dead Shah no one cared for anyway.

I should be required to enter these debates with one eye closed and bang my head 20 times against a wall first to make them fair.
I can look up about 100 posts you have made about how the Iranians life has gone down, down, down, hill since the Shah's regime, and now....
You are saying no one liked him????
Seriously Michael, the IIDF really needs some new strategies!
You have basically just torpedoed half the Iranian arguments you have ever made with just that one statement.
