The commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)�s Navy says during confrontations in the Persian Gulf over the past 18 months, Iranian forces have slapped the Americans six times.

Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, speaking at a gathering of Basij�students at the former US embassy compound in Tehran Saturday,�was apparently referring to the period since the US assassination of Iran's legendary commander General Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad.

The Iranian youth, he said, should know �the importance of the Persian Gulf and the fact that our country is of great geographical significance".

�This importance has led us to slap the Americans six times�in one and a half years of confrontations, many of which�have not been covered by the media yet,� Admiral Tangsiri said.
