(Fars-Iran) Lt. Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brig.-Gen.

"Iran is more powerful than any other time and our defense power against the enemies cannot be compared to the past," Salami said. "We are able to hit all the vital interests of the enemies at any point in the region....The security of the world energy and regional and international shipping and trade in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman is in the hands of Iran."
