Another Tinfoil Apocalypse Update

Iranian Navy | Saber Rattling | Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi | The Daily Caller: "The Islamic Republic of Iran said Tuesday that it has the ability to position a naval vessel within three miles of the East Coast of the United States.

“The power of our naval forces is such that we have a presence in all the waters of the world and, if needed, we can move to within three miles of New York,” Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said Tuesday during a speech to the students of the University of Yazd in Iran. His remarks were quoted by an Iranian student news agency.

This naval saber rattling represents a stark escalation in Iran’s war rhetoric, as the West weighs the question of whether to impose new economic sanctions or directly attack the Islamic regime’s illicit nuclear facilities."
As Gagdad has pointed out:
It's pretty odd when you can be less than five years away from the nuclear bomb but more than five centuries away from the nuclear age.
