What the Dems will fail to mention is that this isn't the first time this happened.
We sunk half of their operational fleet.
0 casualties.
"BUT ZOMG THEY HAVE TEH SUPR STELTH SUBMACHINERINES!" will be shouted from the rooftops.

Kilo-class submarines! Those sound scary!
Oh wait. They were cold war era Russian shit that went out of production 30 years ago. Whoops.
My brohemian rhapsody @HeshmatAlavi tells us all about the effort the Mullahs put into their original 'Iranian pride' designs.
For example, much hullabaloo was made about the 'Hoot' super-torpedo the Mullahs waved around like it was a proxy for their dicks.
Most of Iran's submarines are 'Ghadir' class submarines, dinky 2 man subs they copied from North Korea.

Diesel-electric submarines are LOUD in the realm of naval warfare, especially nowadays, and especially diesel-electric submarines from the cold war or straight copied off cold war designs.
The AIP system for diesel submarines, 'air injection propulsion'.
Basically, its a stealth system that allegedly cancels out the noise of diesel engines on submarines.
Also, correction, its 'Air Independent Propulsion', my bad. nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/1-st…

So of course, Iran HAD to get all their submarines equipped with them.
The US Navy has had the AIP system beat for well over a decade now.
We have satellites that can spot a fly on the ass of a pig.
Do people honestly think we don't have naval detection capabilities?
That the US Navy would ADVERTISE its achilles heel?
What about the rest of the Iranian fleet?
Alvand-class frigates: They have 3. They're the three that survived Operation Praying Mantis in 1988.

Good omens there. Just fantastic omens. I wish them the best of luck, oh flies heading straight to a bug zapper.

That was made by the Dutch in 1936.
