31. 15th Fleet?
Ben Shepherd ,   Fort Worth, Texas   (08.31.11)
Iran has a 15th Fleet? What happened to 1 through 14? Oh I forgot, the Athenians sunk them!
32. Iran's Toy Submarine
Ty Harris ,   Phoenix, Arizona   (08.31.11)
Hahahahahahah! I love Iran's cute little toy submarine. It looks like one of my country's first submarines - the Hunley I think it was called. Powered by guys manually turning a crank as i recall...In a war with America that thing would be sunk in about 5 minutes by our Los Angeles class subs... that's assuming they would be stupid enough to actually leave port...
33. Of course Iran is trying to escalate things.
Colt ,   florida   (08.31.11)
Of course Iran is trying to escalate things, they have been know to fund every terrorist organization there is right now. They are against Israel and the West (Mainly the U.S.) they think they are the supreme over everyone else, and with their whole nuke program they are quickly become a threat to the rest of the world. The west needs to stop acting like the wars in the mideast are for "liberation" instead of oil and start pusing back on Iran. Economic sanctions, nuclear sanctions, the whole 5 yards; and actually ENFORCE them so they take us seriously.

Richard ,   U.S.A.   (08.31.11)
"Israel's policy should be: no Iranian ships in the Red Sea. If Iran sends those ships, we will sink them." Currently, the US through NATO are busily taking out governments in the ME and installing Islamic radicals. Pretty soon Israel will be surrounded by some real enemies. Like they haven't quite had even in the past and now with the US leading them. I think that is the real secret that is unfolding right now in Libya, next Syria and once they are done they will all attack Israel. If so, Israel will not survive that.
35. Praying for Israel
Pat ,   Fort Myers, Florida   (08.31.11)
Praying for Israel...
36. Wives in daycare, 15th ready to sail.
Louis Smith ,   Richmond,Va. USA   (08.31.11)
That's how they roll in Iran.
37. ISRAEL:
Susan ,   Bluefield,WVa./ U.S.   (08.31.11)
I love,pray and support Israel-ALWAYS! Susan B. U.S.A.
38. This is not about Geography. Why are you misconstruing this!
Harry Wright ,   UK   (08.31.11)
This is about reporting what is happening in the area. Israel is sending two additional warships in the Red Sea because of terrorism and it is Iran's Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari who said "that the Islamic Republic is planning to send its 15th fleet to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden". What for?? You tell us. Why is Iran leaving its waters to go and provoke Israel??? Huh??? You creep! Who is the warmonger? What business did Russia have building missile bases quite to a** in the Caribbean and causing the cold war! What business does Iran have patrolling the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, huh? Since when Iran is interested in piracy, huh?
39. Iranian Navy Puzzle Solved
John Greenbrier ,   Charleston WV USA   (08.31.11)
Q - Why does the new Iranian Navy have glass bottomed hulls? A - so they can see the OLD Iranian Navy! What a pack of losers, those arrogant Persian Pr!cks will be visiting Davy Jones locker before too long. GO IDF !!!
40. Is Middle-East End Game Nigh?
mineeyeshaveseen ,   Atlanta USA   (08.31.11)
The continuing instability in the middle east, with Iran seeking to reclaim the glory of what was once the Persian empire, has to make one wonder if Armageddon is just around the corner. As one middle east physician recently lamented to me, the problems of the region will never be solved until scores as old as the Bible are settled. The final battle between good and evil could well be nigh -- and that may not be a bad thing!
41. Iran in Red Sea
Bob S ,   USA   (08.31.11)
As much as I think Iran is one of the worlds biggest threats because they have the "little man syndrome" they have the right to freedom of navigation on the seas. Does anybody really think their navy is a threat? It's just an in your face thing. Do you want to punch them yes but cooler minds must prevail.
42. To #14
mortychai ,   Monsey, NY USA   (08.31.11)
...and what's wrong with a little bit of disinformation, at the right time?
43. response to Marion
hayseed ,   delaware, USA   (08.31.11)
Iran should be thrilled with your scenario, as they will have fulfilled their purpose. Let us hope Isreal proceeds with the utmost haste!
44. Seriously?
Troy ,   Clermont, FL   (08.31.11)
Check out the photo of Ach' getting out of the submarine, Iran's 5th Fleet? What the hell is that stack behind the hatch? Look's like a patio heater to me. I live in Fla and Nemo's adventure sub at WDW would pose a bigger threat. Israeli sub's are well run and reasonably equipped.
45. 15th Fleet
Chas ,   Portland Ontario   (08.31.11)
Go 15th! Go
46. Protect all the pretty women in Eilat
JandJ ,   Reno, USA   (08.31.11)
and, also, have the beautiful Isaeli military women protect the men in Eilat, like me when I come to visit again. Gog and Magog is approaching people. Read Ezekiel 38-39 (God will protect Israel & revive many of her people)
47. Israel's struggle to defend itself.
Ada ,   Miami, FL   (08.31.11)
We stand with Israel. May God be with you.
48. Matten you are Ignorant
Sabby ,   Houston, Texas USA   (08.31.11)
Mattan, Check yourself on your uncalled for, bitter, and bigoted comment toward the people of the USA. . The USA has helped Israel with 1.5 billion in aid per year in cash an 8-10 billion per year in other aid. It has shared all tech other than our F-22. This includes a radar that can see all the way into Iran .... a technology that we have shared with no other allied partner. Israel has never asked our soldiers to die for Israel anymore than we have asked Israeli soldiers to die in our wars. They have asked for our friendship. I gladly extend my hand as did Beck when he came to Israel only to be slapped in the face by people like you. You are right that the current administration does not want to lift a finger to help our ally, Israel, yet he is being made to by people like me. So, what are you doing to help othr than slapping the people of the U.S. in the face?
49. Huh?? IDF warships to Red Sea border with Egypt????
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (08.31.11)
Israel's "Red Sea border with Egypt" is a tiny strip of water 3 miles long at Taba. What on earth would Israel gain from sending warships there. Jets and Apache helicopters from the nearby UVDA airbase could get to this "Red Sea border" faster and with greater effect than slow-moving missile boats - which would do what, exactly? Intercept Arabs in rubber boats?
50. just a little over a year
Eric ,   Florida, USA   (08.31.11)
Hey Israel, hang tough, play defense, and hopefully in about 15 months or so we'll get this scoundrel out of the white house and get someone in who understands the threat Iran and its gas station attendant of a dictator pose.
51. Oklahoma
tom dee ,   Savannah GA USA   (08.31.11)
You are free to support Israel but please do not try to express that your opinion is anything but that of a very small minority of that location. We live in a free nation and I rather not have you push a war in my name. If you want to do something then pick up a rifle and man one of the ships.
52. Amen
Scott Grubb ,   Austin, TX   (08.31.11)
God bless Israel. USA.
53. Israel sends 2 .....
climp ,   san francisco usa   (08.31.11)
Israel should have never given up the Sinai
54. We Will Be With You #23
Leroy ,   Fort Myers, USA   (08.31.11)
We will have your back Israel once Obama gets thrown out in Novemer 2012. Rick Perry the current leading candidate for the republican has visited Israel several times. State Sen. Florence Shapiro, R-Plano, said she and Perry have had many conversations about Israel and that she's convinced of Perry's "commitment and his deep passion for the Israeli people, and for the country itself." I guess Israel will have to go it solo until that time. Until then our prayers are with you.
55. Time for Israel
Joe ,   USA   (08.31.11)
to kick some islamic fanatical tail....
56. Iran's Navy! What a Joke
Tim ,   Chicago, USA   (08.31.11)
I could fart in my bath tub and cause more damage then Iran's navy. They wouldn't stand a chance against Israel. I would give Iran's entire military 10 minutes at the most against Israel. Iran's hard liner government is just like a smelly fart that doesn't seem to go away. Dutch oven to be politically correct.
57. Iran's 15th fleet
john oakman ,   kingman USA   (08.31.11)
Iran's 15th fleet HAS ONE sub--BWAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAAAAA!!!
58. RE: Iranian imperialism
Adam ,   Cincinnati, USA   (08.31.11)
Like American imperialism? Also evil.
59. Iranian 15th Fleet
Nick ,   Fort Worth Texas USA   (08.31.11)
The Iranians should consider installing glass bottoms in their 16th fleet so they can see the 15th fleet.
60. War what is it good for.. end of the world my god is better
Joel ,   Georgia   (08.31.11)
t would seem that all went as planned. Libya.. check. Egypt...check. Sept UN resolution saying they divide Israel.... Soon to be checked. Iran pissed and backing Egypt and Libya. Think that is a check too.
