Iranian Army Commander Major General Ataollah Salehi underlined the country’s Armed Forces military prowess, and said their preparedness to confront any possible threat has deterred enemy attacks.
Blasting the recent military threats of a number of the US officials against Iran – Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan underlined that the Iranian Armed Forces will give an inconceivable response to any possible enemy aggression.
“The Iranian Armed Forces are an intertwined and coherent complex which can give a decisive response to any threat at any level and any place under the command of the Commander-in-Chief (Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei),” Dehqan said in Tehran, addressing the defense ministry personnel on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution on Sunday night.
The same day Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said that “the United States is afraid of attacking Iran since it knows that its aircraft carrier with thousands of sailors and crews will easily sink in the Persian Gulf in case it dares to launch a military attack against Iran.”
“The Americans can sense by all means how their warships will be sunk with 5,000 crews and forces in combat against Iran and how they should find its hulk in the depths of the sea,” Fadavi said, explaining why Washington’s war rhetoric against Iran is nothing but empty boastful words.
He said “since the very first day that the US warships entered the Persian Gulf, the IRGC Navy has formed and evolved all its capabilities, trainings, structures, organizations and weapons on the basis of Washington’s threats, and added that the IRGC vessels in the region are monitoring the slightest moves made by the Americans” (source: http://english.farsnews.com/).
Fadavi comments come after repeated U.S. threats, by Secretary of State John Kerry and Vice President Joe Biden to use military force if Iran fails to follow through with its uranium enrichment reduction agreement (see article: Biden: Obama “not bluffing” on Iran http://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-obama-not-bluffing-on-iran/).
