I count 260 dead there. Granted, no Iranian announcement, but not much doubt as to who did it. I would assume from your tone that thesaintedReagan nuked Tehran in response.
Now Iran can even play practice games with its rookies in Florida pond.......guys?
Once upon a time the US could draw a line in international waters of another country and tell a super power with multiple nukes that 'you will not cross or else', and they obeyed.
Iran is sending a very important message to the world that even the Soviets wouldn't dare do ie 'the US is no longer the mighty US to be scared of'.
The 'message' Iran is going to end up sending is that it is time for Iran to buy a new navy. This one passed its used by date 20 or more years ago.
