Tasnim � The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Navy protects Iran�s maritime borders in the southern waters against the US and its allies with 100 military vessels every day, commander of the force said.





In a meeting with a top Iranian cleric in the city of Qom on Wednesday, IRGC Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said his forces are fully ready to counter any foreign threat.

�Every day, 100 light and heavy vessels in the country�s border waters are prepared all the time for defense against the US and its regional allies,� the general said.

Highlighting the IRGC Navy�s capabilities in the Persian Gulf, the commander added, �The US admits today that it is incapable of dealing with the Iranian Navy�s military power.�

Last year, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei hammered the US for its schemes against Iran�s military presence in the Persian Gulf and made it clear that the Islamic Republic will continue to demonstrate power at its home, the Persian Gulf.

�The Persian Gulf is the Iranian nation�s home�, and the coasts of the Persian Gulf and large parts of the Sea of Oman coasts belong to this strong nation,� Imam Khamenei said in May 2016.
