Iran Press/Iran news: “Be sure that they [US fleet] don’t dare take measures against us. Our approach is to think like the nights of operations; it means we should always be ready,” Deputy Coordinator of the Iranian Army Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari told reporters Monday on the sideline of an event in Tehran.
On Friday, a US naval fleet including USS John C Stennis aircraft carrier entered the Persian Gulf through Strait of Hormuz while the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) was conducting drills, Mehr News Agency reported.
According to reports, some 30 IRGC boats trailed the US fleet as it was passing through the strait, "Presence of countries’ naval fleets in high seas is normal and any state can sail in the international waters according to international regulations, and Iran does that too," Sayyari noted.
“The presence of this [US] fleet is not important for us since it can do nothing against us,” Deputy Coordinator of the Iranian Army Rear Admiral said, stressing that we will never let the fleet come near Iran’s territorial waters.
Iran is ready and equipped enough to combat western propaganda on this issue, Deputy Coordinator of the Iranian Army Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari concluded.105/201
