Iranian Commander: US military presence, unacceptable

The illegitimate presence of foreign forces, including the US troops in the region, by no means could be acceptable, Deputy Chief of Staff of Iran’s Joint Armed Forces Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri told IRNA Tuesday.

The commander strongly recommended alien forces including Americans to leave the Persian Gulf, adding that the regional countries are strong enough to protect their own security and that of the region.

As for the achievements of the recent ‘Velayat-90’ war games in Iran’s southern waters by the Iranian Navy, he said the wargames manifested Iran’s capabilities and potential in providing regional security.
