Iran Iranian Navy Sends Submarines to Red Sea

Iran, a new Naval threat?

Nahhhhhh. A joke yes, a threat nowhere close.

How can a submarine full of Islamic rejects be a threat when they will be busy molesting each other and the few goats they will have on board for the "fresh Milk"

TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran has sent submarines to the Red Sea in the first such deployment by the country's navy in distant waters, a semi-official news agency reported on Tuesday.

The deployment reflects Iran's efforts to show off its naval power. Iran has long sought to upgrade its air defense systems and navy to portray itself as a regional military superpower, as well as prepare for any possible future attacks against the country, saying they would most likely be air and sea-based.

The Fars news agency, which is close to Iranian military officials, said the submarines would collect data in international waters and identify warships of other countries.

The report quoted an unnamed government official as saying the submarines accompanied Iranian warships on an anti-piracy route in the Gulf of Aden before they moved into the Red Sea earlier this month. Fars gave no details on the number or capabilities of the submarines.

Iran has long had three Russian-made submarines and last year, four new small Iranian-built submarines were delivered to its navy.

The four were said to be Ghadir class submarines, which can fire missiles and torpedoes and at the same time are capable of cruising in shallow waters, such as those of the Persian Gulf off the Iranian coast.

Russian subs patrol off U.S. East Coast

"We view this, we are mindful of it, we watch it, but we do not assign motives that we don't believe are there."
It may Not be considered a threat , but you can Guarantee there are U.S Subs not far Behind them !

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two nuclear-powered Russian attack submarines have been patrolling off the eastern seaboard of the United States in the first mission of its kind so close to shore in nearly a decade, U.S. officials said on Wednesday.

The Pentagon said it was not alarmed by the maneuvers, carried out by what officials described as Soviet-designed Akula-class submarines in international waters as little as 200 miles off the coast.

The Russian operation comes at a time when President Barack Obama is pushing to "reset" relations between the two former Cold War rivals.

Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said Obama saw that rivalry as "long passed" and that Washington was keeping an eye on the two vessels.

"So we don't look at this action and automatically see threatening motives," Morrell said. "We view this, we are mindful of it, we watch it, but we do not assign motives that we don't believe are there."

He said the Russian vessels were free to operate in international waters. "It doesn't cause any alarm within this building (the Pentagon).... It doesn't pose any threat," Morrell added.
