TEHRAN (ISNA)- The Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy Ali Fadavi said the country plans to raise the speed of its vessels to three times more than those of the US ships, saying that the Iranian home-made products speed is twice than vessels belonging to the US.
'The forces (IRGC Navy) plan to raise the speed of its vessels to three times more than those of the US,' he said.
Fadavi continued the forces plan to increase the speed of the products to 80 nodes, adding that the US ships speed reached 31 nodes until a few years ago.
'Americans believe that they are facing an asymmetric war. Their reason was wars in 1987 with the IRGC Navy. They believe that they are facing a threat, while they are the source of the threats.'
