Iranian Military Targets American Forces

[MEMRI/New York Sun] Steven Stalinsky - The Iranian military is watching every move made by American troops stationed in the Persian Gulf region. "We are fully monitoring the route taken by the American" warships in the Gulf, "and because American warships are heavy, they have no maneuverability and are easily sunk," said the navy commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Admiral Sejjad Kouchaki. He added, "Our submarines can easily get near the enemy. Even our enemies know full well that one of our submarines passed under one of their [vessels] without their noticing. We came close to their anchored vessels, and we even filmed their anchor chain. We followed them through a periscope at a depth of 1 kilometer without their noticing." The head of the Iranian army's joint staff, Abdolrahim Mousavi, said, "Regarding what Admiral Kouchaki said...the same goes for unmanned planes. The same unmanned plane that flew over the warships in the Persian Gulf, taking pictures of them all, can do other things if equipped with a warhead." A Jan. 22 editorial in the Iranian daily Kayhan noted: "The American soldiers to the east and west of the Iranian" border "are in range of our fire. [When] the mighty missiles are launched from Iran, Israel will become a scorching hell for the Zionists."
