#1 Me thinks that's the only kinda of US carrier they could sink.

#2 This will put the Persian's Photoshop skills to the highest test.

#3 Rising Iran is OWG Globalist Obama's new post-Syria BFF, + they want MilPol or Military capabilities befitting their new status.

The US-Allies will of course PCorrectly rant-n-rave, but in the end will allow Iran to acquire such.

China + India bought Russia's GORSHKOVS CVS', + the same + Russia itself are seemingly in no hurry to pass the specs on to Iran, so iff Iran wants a Carrier(s) + other it will have to ad hoc a way to reverse-engineer one.

#5 Perhaps they could do France a favor and buy the Charles de Gaulle and blow that up instead.

#6 Glenmore: the Iranians would have to tow the de Gaulle to Bandar Abbas. You know how expensive that would be? Cheaper to build out a barge...

#7 Easier to mimic signing an 'Executive Order'.

#8 Could easily hide something inside or under it.

Aside from that, we should sneak a sub in there and sink it when they aren't looking. It'd sure take the wind out of their sales.

#9 Depends on what they're selling...

#10 We want it to look real, Nuke it.

Let them explain it.

#11 Nah, I think they're planning to land their fleet of the latest, super-secret, stealthy infidel-crushing fighter jets.

#12 Some build models to train optical trackers

My first thought was 'training device' as well.
