What does "station" mean in this context?

I think it means they were playing grab arse in the sea of Oman and the wind pushed them off course. The had to ride the tide and ended up near the Panama Canal.

Pretty sure the Cajun navy can take care of the Iranian navy. If they are dumb enough to fire a shot from one of their bateau’s , then they will frick around and find out.

How are the supporting a naval operation that far from the PG? Cuba supporting them?

This is an easy fix. Cut their logistics and they will go back where they belong.

Me thinks their time would be better spent protecting their own shipping.....

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The U.S. Navy seized over 2,100 assault rifles from a ship in the Gulf of Oman it believes came from Iran and were bound for Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, a Navy spokesman said Tuesday. It was the latest capture of weapons allegedly heading to the Arab world's poorest country.1 day ago

I heard that Stink Finger Joe and that Myorkis guy invited them over to give rides to people that want to come to the US.

I’m shocked Iran has ships worthy enough to make it across the Atlantic

Iran stationing warships at Panama Canal
What are they planning to do ... parallel park one of their obsolete frigates somewhere in Gatun Lake? Are they thinking that Panama is going to allow this?

That Tweet links to an Iranian admiral puffing out his chest. The reality is that they have maybe four ships that could even REACH the Panama Canal, much less deploy there.

Their most-intimidating (LoL) ship is 60% the size of a typical US destroyer ... from WW2.

The Iranian Navy is designed for coastal defense. They have exactly NINE ships that could laughingly be categorized as "deep water navy." One of them was laid-down in ... I kid you not ... 1936.

Iran is not a threat to the Panama Canal.

Shows a lack of respect to our country because of stupid Joe Biden.

They did send a frigate into the South Pacific a few years ago, just to prove they could do it.

Maybe they plan to circumnavigate the globe!

Y’all laugh all you want.

But we have a military led by woke idiots that will allow John kerry-like follies.

Are you not the least bit concerned due to our nation’s leadership?

That’s a nice story and all, but it has nothing to do with the joke in the OP about Iran pretending to send Navy ships to the canal.
