What for? I get that it's in response to the Islamic Guards designation, but still - what for? Seems like empty posturing

Involvement in war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan perhaps

I think they're trolling. In reality, it could mean they have a justification to attack / sieze any Canadian ships that stray into the Persian Gulf. But that would be a pretty huge provocation, so it's unlikely.

Sorry, I meant Canadian warships.
