Iranian Navy Chief: We Aim to Destroy the U.S. Navy

(Fars-Iran) The Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy, Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, said destruction of the U.S. Navy is a major operational goal of his forces. "Conducting training, exercises and drills to get prepared for operational goals is always on our agenda and Americans and all the world know that one of the operational goals of the IRGC Navy is destruction of the U.S. naval force," Fadavi said. He said the combat power of the U.S. in the air totally depends on the fighters flying from its aircraft carriers, "hence, that is a natural thing that we want to sink these vessels." He further noted the vulnerability of the U.S.' giant warships and aircraft carriers, especially in any potential combat against Iranian missiles and speedboats in the Persian Gulf. Fadavi said the large size of the U.S. warships has made them a very easy target for the IRGC naval force.
