Iranian Bluster

I' so afraid



"The U.S. can't do a damn thing to us." And the deputy head of Iran's National Security Council, Mohammad Jafari, tells FRONTLINE in his first-ever television interview:  "You will not find a single instance in which a country has inflicted harm on us and we have left it without a response. So if the United States makes such a mistake, they should know that we will definitely respond. And we don't make idle threats."

A “single instance”, of course he’s right, you will not find a single instance.

The Iran Ajar, five dead, one mine layer taken.

Four U.S. destroyers fired over one thousand rounds of 5-in. shells into Iran's Rashadat oil-loading platforms in the Persian Gulf.  Put a clock on this to wonder why no Iranian forces came out to defend their platforms.

Near the Strait of Hormuz, two Iranian frigates and several gunboats were sunk by American warships and aircraft from the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise.

Two SM-2 surface-to-air missiles hit the Iran Air Flight 655.

President Reagan ordered a retaliatory strike against two Iranian oil platforms in the southern gulf that served as bases for Iran's intelligence service. While one platform was shelled by the frigates Simpson and Bagley, Marines helicoptered to the second, seized it, planted explosive charges, and destroyed it. A few minutes later, the Simpson sank an Iranian patrol boat that had fired a missile at the USS Wainwright.
