Commander: Iran mass produces speedboats
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, April 3, IRNA -- Iran managed to mass produce speedboats cruising at 80 knots last year and has plans to further increase the speed of its boats, according to a top commander at the Islamic Revolution's Guards Corps (IRGC).
Ali Fadavi, the IRGC navy commander, said that the US is the main source of insecurity in the region and if it do not create problem, there will be no cause of concern.
'After the capturing and the subsequent releasing of the US sailors (by the IRGC forces) in the Persian Gulf, no other issue related to us occurred in the region creating insecurity,' he said.
Iran detained ten US sailors that entered the Iranian territorial waters on January 12 aboard two US Navy patrol boats.
IRGC freed the sailors a day later saying the entry was made by mistake.
