The Iranian Navy celebrated its most recent achievement yesterday as it’s naval forces staged an attack on a barge that was converted to look like an American aircraft carrier. They managed to blow it up.
They’re now ready to wage a naval war against floating movie sets. Hollywood’s in big trouble!
I’d like to see their gunboats go straight at a U.S. warship lined up like that. One strafing run by an F-18 from off the deck of one of our carriers would make short work of them.
It’s a good thing they didn’t mistake a real American aircraft carrier with its full battle group for their wooden barge. That would have made for a huge slice of humble pie for the Revolutionary Guard…every one of their little boats would have been on the bottom of the Strait of Hormuz, and it would have been carried live on Iranian TV.
Iran’s claim to be able to sink every American warship in the Strait of Hormuz or in the Persian Gulf in fifty seconds can only be done in a movie. Looked like amateur hour with the Iranian Navy.
They’d probably better stick to blowing up movie sets. They seem marginally proficient at that, even though a lot of their gun hits appeared to hit the water, and not the barge.
