i would have imaged that they would send their Caspian fleet to Russia to be safe !
the iranian regime is pretty dumb. Their getting ass pounded and their leaders are being exterminated like its nothing. That's why what's going on seems quite impressive to me. A dumb regime, no air force, no real navy, no air defence, no real strategy, yet they are able to keep sending rockets out to isreal. If such a backward nation can cause this sort of trouble to the USA, then moving forward its not going to look good for the american image of being a global power.
When we pay attention to the past few decades, the iranians have been reckless and helped bring the region to this failed point. Their geopolitical moves ultimately has only harmed the Muslim middle east.
Had Turks converted to Christianity instead of Islam, probably Islam would be a dead religion by now.
