EXCLUSIVE:
Top Commander Describes Destruction of US Navy "A Main Operational Goal of IRGC"
TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said destruction of the US Navy is a major operational goal of his forces.
"Conducting trainings, exercises and drills to get prepared for operational goals is always on our agenda and Americans and all the world know that one of the operational goals of the IRGC Navy is destruction of the US naval force," Admiral Fadavi said in an exclusive interview with FNA.
He said the combat power of the United States in the air totally depends on the fighters flying from its aircraft carriers, "hence, that is a natural thing that we want to sink these vessels".
The Admiral further noted the vulnerability of the United States' giant warships and aircraft carriers, specially in any potential combat against Iranian missiles and speedboats in the Persian Gulf, and said, "If you take a look at Robert Gates' book, you will see how he counts the vulnerabilities of aircraft carriers to the IRGC Navy and (that's why) he asks for a change in the US naval strategy. This is no easy task, but they (the Americans) have started doing so as he has emphasized."
