IRGC: We can sink a U.S. carrier in less than one minute- naval commander

IRGC forces US to change its naval strategy - naval commander. (Taz).

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is capable of sinking the US aircraft carriers, the naval commander of the IRGC, Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said, the country’s Fars news agency reported Jan. 18.

Fadavi made the remarks in a meeting with Commandant of Oman’s National Defense College (NDC) Major General Salim bin Musallam Qatan in Tehran.

Fadavi said that the IRGC’s military principles are based on confronting with the US threats, standing against them and being the battle field’s winner.

He said the US spends $13 billion for building an aircraft carrier, meanwhile the IRGC speedboats are able to sink it, according to the US military officials.

He also said that the IRGC forced the US to change its naval strategy in the Gulf.

It is not the first time that the IRGC officials make similar statements on this issue.

Fadavi said last May that the US warships are easy target, claiming his forces could sink a US aircraft carrier in less than a minute.(Whoever sold the original 'Blade Runner' to Iran was a moron)

“Conducting trainings, exercises and drills to get prepared for operational goals is always on our agenda and Americans and the whole world know that one of the operational goals of the IRGC Navy is the destruction of the US naval force,” Fadavi said.

Fadavi said his forces had been conducting routine drills on how to sink US vessels, notably in the Gulf. Hmmmm........And the US knows it....Lets hope that what the wargame "Millenium Challenge" predicted doesn't materialize, quote "You sunk my carrier".

Remember that Iranian USS Nimitz 'movie prop'? - Iran to test suicide drones in military drill.

Commander of the Iranian Army's Ground Forces Brigadier General Ahmad-Reza Pourdastan said on May 23 that the country will test its suicide drones in a military drone later this year.

"Iran will hold a special drone drill this year, and various kinds of home-made drones will be tested," Pourdastan said, Iran's Mehr News Agency reported.

Pourdastan on May 22 highlighted the full preparedness of Iran's Armed Forces, warning that the Islamic Republic will give a crushing response to any military aggression.

"The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will never be caught off-guard, and should the enemy want to act on the immature fantasy of aggression, it will face a crushing and lethal response by the Armed forces," Pourdastan said.

"Today, we are facing new threats that are different from [those in] the past in terms of type, shape and size," the Iranian commander said.

Pourdastan said that Iranian intelligence experts are monitoring the movements of the enemy "at the borders, across the region and beyond the region."

Iranian media outlets claim in recent years Iran has secured great accomplishments in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.

The Islamic Republic has repeatedly said its military might poses no threat to other countries, reiterating that its defense doctrine is based on deterrence.Hmmm.....expect an Iranian version of  'Pearl Harbor' in the strait of Hormuz.
