Thank you Obama for all you have done to protect America........OH, uh, Sorry, to protect Iran, one of your muslime friends!!!
New technology follows revelation of speedboat capable of similar attacks
IranâÂÂs radical Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, shortly after announcing a surge in spending when President Obama secretly t***sferred $1.7 billion in cash to the rogue regime, now has revealed the development of a suicide drone.
The documentation comes from the Middle East Media Research Institute, which t***slated a report from the Iranian Tasnim news agency.
Tasnim said that while the drone cannot carry missiles, it can be packed with explosives for suicide-type missions and has a range of more than 600 miles and a top velocity of 155 mph. ItâÂÂs equipped with advanced cameras that can also be used at night.

According to Tasnim, itâÂÂs the second Iranian-made vessel that can be used for suicide missions. The first was an IRGC navy speedboat.
MEMRI report said the direct t***slation from Tasnim stated: âÂÂThe IRGC navy has recently beefed up its aerial defensive capabilities by planning and manufacturing a military drone for identification missions. [This drone is] equipped with advanced military cameras that can be used both day and night. The drone can fly and perform missions in wet areas like the ocean ⦠for four hours at a time, and can execute tasks. Its range is up to 1,000 kilometers. One of its important attributes is its ability to fly as low as half a meter above the surface of the water, or as high as 3,000 feet.âÂÂ
The Iranian source said the drone âÂÂcannot carry missiles, but with regard to the military aspect, it can carry a large quantity of explosives and operate in a suicide capacity â meaning that it can approach a target, flying close to the surface of the water at high velocity, and crash into the vessel or into the land-based command center.âÂÂ
The IRGC, a promoter of terrorism, several years ago revealed its speedboat suicide option.
The Telegraph reported at the time that Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi of the IRGCâÂÂs navy boasted of obtaining a copy of a British boat that held the world speed record.
âÂÂWe got a copy [on which] we made some changes so it can launch missiles and torpedoes,â he said then.
He revealed plans to reverse-engineer the boat, called the Bradstone Challenger.
Asked the Telegraph: âÂÂBut does Iran really possess the technology to copy the boatâÂÂs twin 1,000hp Caterpillar engines and Arneson surface drive propellers? Dr. Theodore Karasik, research director at the Institute of Near East and Gulf Military Analysis, thinks so. âÂÂThe Iranian defense industry p***es itself in acquiring Western technology using false fronts and then cloning its own versions. Why havenâÂÂt we seen the Bradstone Challenger yet? ItâÂÂs quite possible they are holding back some of their more potent capabilities for a surprise purpose.'âÂÂ
The report pointed out that the speedboat never would have been obtained by Iran âÂÂif the United States Department of Commerce had got its way.âÂÂ
âÂÂAfter passing through several private owners in the Mediterranean, the record-breaking boat was put up for sale by a broker as âÂÂthe ultimate toy for someone looking for something a little bit specialâÂÂ. In January 2009, a third party in South Africa arranged for it to be shipped out of Durban on the Iran Mutafeh, a cargo ship registered to the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL).
âÂÂBoth were on a UN-sanctions related watch list. After docking, the Iran Mutafeh changed its name to the Diplomat, hoisted a Hong Kong f**g and re-registered with a company called Starry Shine, a known front for the IRISL. At this point alarm bells rang at the U.S. Commerce DepartmentâÂÂs Bureau of Industry and Security. An export stop order was faxed to Durban, citing the speedboatâÂÂs US-made components, but the ship had already set sail for Iran.âÂÂ
The craft, last known to be berthed in Bandar Abbas on the coast of Iran, had circumnavigated the British Isles in 27 hours and 10 minutes, averaging 63 mph.
The Telegraph noted that while an ordinary U.S. naval defense would destroy most of the unmanned vehicles in any attack, âÂÂit would only need one suicide boat to get through for such an attack to be successful. If the target were an aircraft carrier, the images of a stricken, $4.5 billion f**gship would reverberate around the world like September 11.âÂÂ
WND reported last month on IranâÂÂs huge spending hike.
âÂÂIn seeking to strengthen the policy of rapprochement with Iran, the Obama administration (through its Treasury Department) has surreptitiously t***sferred to [Iran President Hassan] RohaniâÂÂs government two tranches, in cash, for a total of $1.7 billion, allegedly as the cumulative interest on IranâÂÂs deposits, made during the Shah regime before the 1979 revolution, for the purchase of American weapons,â reported Nimrod Raphaeli, a senior analyst at the Middle East Media Research Institute.
Raphaeli acknowledged itâÂÂs âÂÂa commonly accepted premise that money is fungible.âÂÂ
âÂÂWhile we cannot establish whether the money t***sferred from the U.S. went directly into the expanded defense budget, it, at a minimum, enabled the government to release an equal amount of money for defense purposes,â he wrote.
âÂÂIt is noteworthy that the increase in the proposed defense budget for 2017 is approximately equal to the amount t***sferred by the U.S.,â he continued.

âÂÂWh**ever the source of the defense budget increase, the IRGC will have ample resources to expand its nefarious activities far beyond the borders of the Islamic Republic,â the report said.
Ari Lieberman at FrontPage Magazine, when the deal went down this year, pointed out that the Obama administration refused to âÂÂsay where the funds ended up.âÂÂ
He called it the latest âÂÂfiascoâ and âÂÂreflected a settlement of IranâÂÂs claims against the U.S. stemming from the 1979 aborted arms t***saction.âÂÂ
âÂÂIronically, the Iranians were not required to pay anything to the 52 American hostages they kidnapped in 1979. Those hostages were held in dungeon-like conditions for 444 days. Like all t***sactions conducted by the Obama administration, the benefits flow one way.âÂÂ
The commentator found that even though the Obama administration denied it, âÂÂit is clear that the first installment of $400 million was a ransom payment made to secure the release of Americans held hostage in Iran.âÂÂ
âÂÂWe thought that Obama could stoop no lower after he traded five hard-core Taliban terrorists held at Guantanamo for the deserter and t*****r Bowe Bergdal. We were wrong,â Lieberman wrote. âÂÂThe feckless White House is now in the business of disgracefully paying two-bit dictators protection money.âÂÂ
