Washington Free Beacon: Iran Sending Warships to Atlantic Ocean Amid Massive New Military Buildup
Iran boosts war spending by $500 million after U.S. issues sanctions.
Iran is preparing to send a flotilla of warships to the Atlantic Ocean following the announcement of a massive $500 million investment in war spending, according to Iranian leaders, who say the military moves are in response to recent efforts by the United States to impose a package of new economic sanctions on Tehran.
The military investment and buildup comes following weeks of tense interactions between Iran and the United States in regional waters, where Iranian military ships have carried out a series of dangerous maneuvers near U.S. vessels.

Let us see how many of the crew the Iranian gov't executes.
Iran can send all the ship they want in the Atlantic ocean, they haven't the logistic to do anything.
You are right Jac.
Let them hemorrhage money.
Plus many of their men won't come to a good end and their own government will see to that.
Task force lol
What in the world will Iranian ships do in the West Atlantic???
Some Blue Water outreach by the Iranians. In Corvettes? Maybe a tanker "mothership" to umbilical the oversized PT's... speed boats, even. Right at the front end of Hurricane season. Silly Iranians.
There is the real possibility of rescue by the Bermuda Coast Guard.

You may be right. They do look smaller than a frigate.
They will probably steer clear of any hurricanes unfortunately
