Mid East Heating Up: Iran Warns U.S. About Carriers in Strait of Hormuz
The General in charge of Iran’s naval fleet warned U.S. officials of further interference in the area, saying “I advise, recommend and warn them (the Americans) over the return of this carrier to the Persian Gulf because we are not in the habit of warning more than once.”
However, Ataollah Salehi, the General in charge of Iran’s naval fleet warned U.S. officials of further interference in the area, saying “I advise, recommend and warn them (the Americans) over the return of this carrier to the Persian Gulf because we are not in the habit of warning more than once.”
Other than the traditional Iranian rhetoric, no specific threat about what actions would be taken was made.
“We recommend to the American warship that passed through the Strait of Hormuz and went to Gulf of Oman not to return to the Persian Gulf,” Salehi was quoted as saying by the state news agency IRNA.
Motives behind Salehi’s statement were not immediately clear.
He said Iran’s enemies have understood the message of the naval exercises, adding, “We have no plan to begin any irrational act but we are ready against any threat.”
