took his pictures from just 500 meters from the carrier, which Razmju failed to name. He said this showed the “prowess and might” of the Pasdar Navy. He didn’t explain how picture-taking demonstrated prowess and might. Nor did he explain why on earth the Pasdaran would want 50 minutes of footage of a ship sitting in the water. The US Navy doesn’t object to having its picture taken. What it does object to is small, armed boats making a high-speed beeline for one of its vessels. But sitting 500 meters away for 50 minutes is just a yawner.
