Iran-IRGC-Saffari
Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy Force Rear Admiral Morteza Saffari said here Monday that forces under his command are ready to repel any threat in the Persian Gulf.
"The (IRGC Navy) forces' preparedness to confront any sort of probable threat posed by enemies in Persian Gulf has increased," Rear Admiral Morteza told reporters here on Monday.
He said that the delivery of navy military equipment to the IRGC Navy by Ministry of Defense has been expedited and 'we are totally prepared'.
"Taking a look at the Persian Gulf, we see that the highest level of foreign naval movements and the presence of the US fifth fleet in the region take place near Asalouyeh."
He said that it is needed to raise the combat readiness of Tharallah navy base by building up Iranian forces' combat preparedness before the insecure atmosphere that foreigners have created in the Persian Gulf.
