An Iran naval official says that Iran will be sending out an warship toward the U.s maritime borders as a sign of a message. The plan according to Fars, is to response to the US beefing up its naval presence. Haddad claims that the warship is already on sea and on its way but that is not certain yet. A U.S. defense official said that this was not the first threat from Iran as they threaten to send warships in 2011

I think that the Iran military could be bluffing again because they said they were going to send out ships before in 2011 and they did not. I also think that the Iranian Navy is not a big threat to the U.S defense because there the smallest of its military forces. In my option the US defense has nothing to worry about the warships and needs to focus on other bigger issues that are going on to protect America. . But I wonder what massage are the Iranians trying to send? Maybe this is a way to show their strength?
