US repeats provocative acts in Persian Gulf: IRGC
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, July 29, IRNA -- US has repeated its provocative and unprofessional acts in the Persian Gulf, the public relations office of IRGC 4th naval zone announced on Saturday.
Only a few days after the previous provocative act performed by the US to fire two warning shots to instigate Iranian boats in the Persian Gulf, US again committed the same act in the region.
While being monitored by Iran Zolfaghar frigates, American Nimitz-class aircraft carrier sent choppers toward Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) near Resalat oil-gas Field.
IRGC forces paid no attention to US act and US naval forces left the place.
Afew days ago, IRGC in a statement had announced, 'A US warship moved towards an Iranian navy patrol boat and aiming to instigate and frighten the Iranian boat, fired two warning shots.'
It noted, 'IRGC navy patrol boat continued its mission, ignoring the unprofessional and provocative move by the US warship and the warship left the zone after a while.'
