Does it look like a 'mini sub' in the right hand corner 'decorated' with 'revolutionaries'?

In other Iranian terror news, there are Iranian Missile Sites in Venezuela.Comforting, no?(JawaReport).The Astinave shipping website posts a photo of Iranian delegates visiting the Guayaquil Shipyard. Days ago, Mr. General Manager received EP ASTINAVE facilities, 12 industrial technical delegates from different areas of the Ministry of Defense of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The meeting was intended to meet the technical capabilities of the institution and later establish the possible areas of cooperation for further exchange between the parties on information regarding logistics and technology.Astinave and Iran have a business relationship verified on the company’s website along with this undated photo of the Iranian delegation visit. The website also contains information that Astinave cooperates with Israeli Aerospace Industries to improve its surface radar aboard Ecuadorian naval vessels. The unusual client pairing suggests strategic competition between Israel and Iran in gaining contracts with Ecuador. The Iranians reportedly obtained exclusive use of the Astinave pier near Santa Cruz de los Taques in 2010 . Accounts in the Venezuelan media report the Iranian personnel arrived in Santa Cruz in 2010 to sign the contract with Asdrubal Chavez and have remained there since that time. The agreement falls under the jurisdiction of Venezuela’s navy and the recent reporting of the contract serves Iran’s message that it can operate freely in the near region of the United States. Iranian news articles repeatedly state Iran’s military capabilities and readiness against any foreign threat. It could be said that the rhetoric is for the benefit of Iran’s population more than Western strategists, but it does influence international policy toward Iran that has a reputation of operating through proxies and threatening its regional neighbors. Sanctions against Iran are the result of not only Iran’s message but actions. The reporting of the Astinave-Iranian agreement for the Santa Cruz port may be timed to demonstrate Iran’s ability to resist the limitations of sanctions and still carry on with missile bases in Latin America. Until Iran and Venezuela acquire missile inventory capable of reaching the US from Paraguaná.the construction of missile sites serves largely as posturing. The ground work and relational ties are sufficient concern for the US intelligence community, despite the lack of progress on the actual bases. Support from China or Russia could accelerate the work if either of those countries feels the need to leverage the US, NATO or the West. Iran and Venezuela are keen to draw surveillance attention toward Venezuela and maintain a tempo of threatening rhetoric, along with meetings between Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez in Caracas. By doing so Iran and Venezuela fashion danger into a commodity for trade. An evolving South America designed to buffet the US reshapes power internationally under this strategy. The Iranians are eager to do so with missile sites on Paraguaná whether the sites are complete or in progress. At present, the sites appear to be far from completion.Hmmm....."Yes we Can?"Read the full story here.
