  Four Aces - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original Four Aces were the cargo liners Excalibur, Exochorda, Exeter, and Excambion, built for American Export Lines by New York Shipbuilding of Camden, New Jersey between 1929 and 1931.
During World War II, all four vessels were taken over by the U.S. Navy, renamed, and designated as AP- and APA-class troop transports.
After World War II, American Export Lines purchased four C3-class transports built by Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corp. at Sparrow’s Point, Maryland, had them refitted as passenger liners, and placed them in service as the new "Four Aces." Carrying the names of the original quartet, the new "Four Aces" sailed under the AEL flag until the 1960s.

 A Daily Briefing on Iran: Iran’s Four Aces
In fact, Iran has four aces in its hand to avoid any meaningful action by the UN Security Council, where lack of consensus is the rule on critical issues and paralysis of action is the result.
While Khatami’s candidacy is not likely to get any traction today, the idea does shed light on how Iran intends to operate behind the scenes to push for someone even more favorable to its position than weak-kneed Annan has proven to be.
The fourth ace in Iran’s hand is what appears to be the lack of any good options for the United States to follow if it cannot bring the rest of the world around to its more muscular brand of diplomacy.
