Iran is threatening to deploy warships opposite the US Atlantic coast purportedly owing to the presence of the US Navy in the Persian Gulf. The official Islamic Republic News Agency quotes Iranian Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari as saying:
“Like the arrogant powers that are present near our marine borders, we will also have a powerful presence close to American marine borders.”
Sayyari's threat came in parallel with the announcement by the Iranian defense minister, Gen. Ahmad Vahidi, that Tehran will begin to mass-produce cruise missiles with a 124-mile range, which can "sink giant warships."
And if that is not enough, America's ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford, who has yet to be recalled from Damascus, was today assaulted with stones and tomatoes while visiting Hassan Abdel-Azim. Abdel-Azim, a centrist politician, has been demanding an end to Assad's crackdown on dissidents, which has claimed over 3,000 Syrian lives in recent months.
Yes, a tomato is a fruit, and we are now witnessing some of the fruit reaching the market from Obama's outreach program to the world's "misunderstood" tyrannies.
