Iranian Commander: IRGC Powerful Enough to Confront US and its allies

IRGC

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps is powerful enough to confront not only the regional powers but also the US and its allies, an IRGC Navy commander underlined on Monday.
Today Iran “has reached a level of capability and self-confidence that it has defined its confrontational scale not to the extent of small regional powers but to the extent of confrontation with a regime like the United States’ hegemonic regime”, Commander of the IRGC’s First Naval Zone Admiral Mahmoud Shiyari said.

In relevant remarks in April, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Navy Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi underlined IRGC’s efforts to build the necessary defensive and security infrastructures in the Persian Gulf region, and said his forces are aware of enemies’ strategic weak points.

“We have managed to create good infrastructures to maintain security and stability in the Persian Gulf region with the efforts made by our colleagues at the different sections of the IRGC Navy,” Fadavi said in Iran’s Southern port city of Bandar Abbas at the time.

He said Iranian commanders believe that the country should build different defensive and security infrastructures so that no aggressor dares to make adventurist moves in the Persian Gulf.

Meantime, Fadavi pointed to the enemies’ weak points in the region, and said, “We have not ignored them in our calculations.”

Earlier in 2012, Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari stressed Iran’s intelligence supremacy over the US moves in the region, and noted that Iran is well informed of the details of the US naval moves in the region.

“We are well aware of the exact number and the position of the US surface vessels, aircrafts, submarines and minesweeping warships in the region,” Sayyari underscored at the time.
