As long as they remain in international waters I have no problem with it.

Iran says could deploy navy near U.S. coast: report - OrlandoSentinel.com

Where will they refuel the refitted shrimp boats?

Exactly. We have made it a point on many occasions to demonstrate our right of free passage. We can not deny this right to others.
That said the Iranians can feel free to waste their money on fuel for their outdated useless fleet.

I'm just not buying it. Newspapers and news channels constantly state everything as fact. In reality, none of us have any idea what was or wasn't said. I expect our media to step up the propaganda before we or someone else attacks Iran. I expect our elected officials and media to demonize Iran and it's leaders and feed us a bunch of BS. After all, our government is in better shape when the People support their actions. All of this talk about terrorism, nukes and now Iran considering a deployment of their Navy near our shoreline, it's all smoke and mirrors. How many times have we seen our elected officials and the media lie to us and demonize the leaders of other countries before we attacked them. This same old song and dance is getting old.

Their navy is good for harassing civilian or lightly armed shipping near their coast, thats about it.

Last time they decided they had a world class navy a bunch of it ended up at the bottom of the Persian Gulf thanks to US Navy.
They could? Hmmm, then they could rebuild their Navy with glass bottom boats, so they could see their old Navy.

Let them come. The crew most likely would mutiny the captain once they had a chance (just look at the past elections and the amount of people who want a freer less Islamic Iran) and give the sub as a gift to the US.

As long as they remain in international waters far enough away from my portion of the east coast rendering anything they might try to hurl useless, I have no problem with it.

Perfect....our armed forces could always use some live fire training.
