Sanctions

Morteza Safari: for each US battleship we have dedicated 100 battle-boats
Tehran, July 24, 2010
In an interview with Panjerei Weekly, Morteza Safari the former commander of IRGC’s navy said that to confront foreign threats, IRGC’s navy has dedicated 100 battle-boats for each US battleship.
Safari said: “to confront the enemy we don’t start mathematical calculations; we don’t say that the enemy has this amount of fighter jets of battleships so we must have more than that. We attack the centeral and the weak points. We confront them with up-to-date equipments”.
He added: “we thank God that these days there are more than 100 foreign battleships in Persian Gulf and Amman Sea as at hand targets and whenever the honorable leader wishes to or whenever the enemy wants to commit slightest hostile act against Islamic Establishment all the trained IRGC and Bassij forces are ready to react immediately”.
Safari continued: “a great number of human forces are dedicated to each great US battleship. If we sink a few of them a great number of US forces will be buried in Persian Gulf and we do have this capacity”.
About the permission for inspection of suspicious ships of regime by the resolution 1929 Safari said “if the enemy wants to commit as such it doesn’t matter which country the enemy is; any country has great trade interests in Persian Gulf and we will retaliate. Each ship with their flag will be the subject of our retaliation because we see this resolution as illogical and bullying”.
He continued: “we will not only react in Persian Gulf. As the army’s navy exists in free waters we do have plans for far distant locations too. So I don’t think that the enemy would dare to act as such and if it does it will regret it”.
