U.S. Navy: Iran prepares suicide bomb boats in Gulf

Iran has built up its naval forces in the Gulf and prepared boats that could be used in suicide attacks, but the U.S. Navy can prevent it from blocking the Strait of Hormuz, the commander of U.S. naval forces in the region said on Sunday.

Iran has made a series of threats in recent weeks to disrupt shipping in the Gulf or strike U.S. forces in retaliation if its oil trade is shut down by sanctions, or if its disputed nuclear program comes under attack.

"They have increased the number of submarines ... they increased the number of fast attack craft," Vice Admiral Mark Fox told reporters. "Some of the small boats have been outfitted with a large warhead that could be used as a suicide explosive device. The Iranians have a large mine inventory."

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Memo to the Pentagon, White House and State Department: the Iranian leadership may be many things, but stupid isn't one of them.

So WHY would the Iranian government do something so stupid as to start a war with a small boat attack against American assets in the Gulf?!?

The short answer, is, THEY WOULDN'T. And as stated in the Paul Simon lyric, "Don't know much about history.....", it is obvious that none of the American branches of government and defense have received the memo that Iran hasn't started a war in over 200 years, and definitely not since becoming an Islamic Republic in 1979.

If attacked, Iran will do all that it can to defend itself: this is only logical.

And I would also like to remind our readership that officials of the Russian and Chinese governments have stated, very publicly, that should such an attack happen, they will assist Iran militarily.

But the current swirling of these kinds of interviews, suggesting a pre-emptive attack by Iran (which they wouldn't do) is a dead giveaway that some false flag is being contemplated by the US and Israel to be blamed on Iran, and then waved at the people of the world like a bloody shirt as the "causus belli" for going to war against Iran.
