The idiot is back, your Terrorist brothers are threatening America with their unsophisticated technology Lols hope when the fire start raining on Tehran" you won't commit suicide. if it takes pearl harbor for America to destroy and nuke the Japanese "imagine what America will do to Iran if its aircraft carrier with over 75 planes and over 5thousand military men is sink by Iran. Even if you don't have common sense but men should know when they are defeated. Before you come with your balderdash and superstition that Iran has not and can never be defeated . Sorry my terrorist country man Lols

As much as I frown at US aggressive behavior in general, Iran should learn how to stop making noise!!

They can calm down and develop their military then if US threatens them, they can strike back. They can learn a clue from North Korea.

Their own gra gra just too much!! That is how they do gra gra and got their general killed and till now, no substantial revenge has been carried out.
what about the missiles fired to destroy two US bases in Iraq?

The US is actually the "aggressor".

I love the US more than anything...

Their culture, ingenuity and enterprising spirit has made the world a fantabulous place.

Even this internet we are using now, including operating systems and browsers, na them.

But right now, they have Iran in a hard place...

They can't even do business with most countries because the US has placed sanctions on them.

What is the origin of the US/Iran beef?

In 1953, the CIA overthrew Iran's democratically elected government because... oil and installed a puppet.

After they took back their country in the 1979 revolution, the US has been beefing them ever since.

On another note, aircraft carriers are relics of the past.

If you field them against any serious adversary, they'll be blown out of the water on day 1.

Missiles, which Iran has plenty of, has rendered them obsolete.
Your last statement is nothing but misguided and uniformed talk. Aircraft carrier remains one of the future of international warfare. Many countries are even dying to perfect even if it is just one. No deceive yourself. Aircraft carrier is one the reason every country fear the US.

You don't know the whole story. US Fighter jet requested that Iran plane should identity themselves for their mission but they refused. If not US FIGHTER jet was able to identify it as commercial airliner the latter would have perish
Does that goes with ICAO rules and regulations.

I agree with you in most points you raised except the issue of aircraft carriers... Aircraft carriers are actually the machinery used by the USA to project force all over the world. No single nation has more aircraft carriers than d USA.

If you have read the battle of midway in worldwar 2 against Japan, then you will understand the importance of the carriers as that was the turning point of that war, according to many expert analysis.

If you think world war ii was long ago, then you must be mistaken because aircraft carriers in the 21st century are modernized and sophisticated with modern weapons, anti-missiles and are nuclear powered. They are even armed with laser weapons.

If you are still in doubt, during Obama's presidency, a missile was fired at a US carrier from Yemen, but was easily defended against by missile defense systems from the warship. The US warship also fired warning shot at the site of origin and even targeted and destroyed the radar they used as a warning to them. Google is your friend.

Remember also that modern warships sizeable as aircraft carriers are capable of carrying many fighter jets, as many as 60-100 including US sophisticated F-35s and F-22s. Air superiority is key in any battle in modern times, so the presence of carriers at seas near your country is enough to give you headache because even when you fire at it, these jets can easily take of and strike targets at your country and note that they are also stealthy and equipped with missiles

Finally, 2/3 of the planet earth is covered by water, far more than land mass. That is why superpower nations also have modern sophisticated submarines underlying the importance of sea battle which of course, the USA is also well-equipped with.

I hope with this few points of mine I have been able to convince and not to confuse you that aircraft Carriers are important even in modern times, thank you grin grin grin
Carriers are still important in power projection no doubt.... But their invisibility today isn't the same as during wwii, anti carrier ballistic missiles currently possessed by China, (don't know about Iran) makes them more vulnerable today than during the Second World War. The tank was the undisputed master of the battle field during wwi and wwii but today anti tank guided missiles make them invisible no more. the carrier just like the tank ain't obsolete but it's no longer invulnerable. tnx

Frown...LOL...Count the wars on wikipedia the US has been in since 1900 till date. Ni55ers do not know history set. Indomie now now generation. US is nothing but the devil in human form. Took its lead from the other devils, the British.

No play with vessel wey carry laser ooo!US carriers carries air & sea missiles defence systems & are guarded by destroyers & war planes,choppers to hunt for enemy subs.they have no fly zone....no sail zones around there carriers.even Iran mocked shooting is regarded as an act of provocation!

The Chinese hypersonic DF-21 anti ship ballistic missile has the ability to target aircraft carriers this fact was confirmed by the Pentagon in 2010.
swarms of autonomous UAVs, possessing both stand-off and close-range weapons, have the flexibility to overwhelm air-defense networks of aircraft carriers
Aircraft carriers are also vulnerable to modern Russian submarines. The very reason anti submarine warfare is done alongside navy destroyers .
Even torpedoes armed with nuclear warheads will sink a carrier.
Carriers are no longer Invisible, they still remain a threat no doubt especially with regards power projection in the peacetime operations of the combat spectrum, but in an all out war against the Russians or the Chinese they are vulnerable.

U dnt need a warhead to target AC,even UAVs passing via no fly zone will be engaged by destroyers,fighter jets to get through to an AC is suicidal.am not saying it not possible,an enemy long range missiles can be shoot out of d sky by antimissiles.

you misunderstood me, the guy I quoted made the AC appear invulnerable, and I gave reasons why in 21st century warfare it is. in a total war where resources of state are geared towards winning, there are several weapons that currently makes the carrier vulnerable. Dive bombers sunk AC"s in Wwii, talk more today where the weapons I made mention of are available. No weapon is invulnerable bro.. it's a military certainty

all this is MAD (mutually assured destruction). these powerful weapons are built not to be used primarily but rather they're built so enemy nations can exercise caution while dealing with the nations possessing them. The US would never relate with Russia or China the same way they'd relate with militarily less powerful nations and vice versa. The US"s reply to hypersonic missiles is the satellite weapon system with the ability to fire at any point on earth several times faster than an intercontinental ballistic missile. so you see all these is an arms race to instill fear and respect into each other, this is why we haven't had ww3 because everyone is aware of each others strength hence MAD. A powerful military breeds respect on the international scene.
