Khameni sends a message to Obama

This is unlikely to awaken US President Hussein Obama, but maybe it will awaken some other Americans to the danger to the United States (yes, to the United States) posed by a nuclear Iran. Iran is sending warships steaming across the Atlantic toward the United States.

“Iran’s military fleet is approaching the United States’ maritime borders, and this move has a message,” Adm. Afshin Rezayee Haddad of Iran’s Northern Navy Fleet was quoted as saying.

According to Fars, Iran had first warned the US of its plans to deploy its naval forces along US marine borders “in the next few years” in September 2012.

Then, Iran’s Navy Commander R.-Adm. Habibollah Sayyari said the move would counter US presence in its waters in the Persian Gulf.

Fars first reported on an Iranian Navy fleet of warships making its way across the Atlantic Ocean in January 2014. At the time, they reported that the ships would sail for at least three months.

Hours earlier, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Saturday the United States would overthrow the Iranian government if it could, adding Washington had a “controlling and meddlesome” attitude towards the Islamic Republic, Iranian media reported.

If Khameni gets the chance to order a nuclear weapon fired at the United States, does anyone really believe he won't do it?

What could go wrong?
