Iranian Navy Commander Threatens to Sink US Fifth Fleet after Warship Deployment
A top Iranian navy commander has stepped up threats against the US, vowing to sink America's Fifth Fleet in the Middle East if provoked.
The threats came after Iran reportedly deployed warships, apparently in response to America's movement of ships into Iranian territory.
According to a senior naval commander, Afshin Rezayee, the Iranian deployment of a destroyer and a helicopter-carrying supply ship was a direct response to the presence of American naval forces in the Persian Gulf.
The Fifth Fleet of the United States Navy is responsible for naval forces in the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and parts of the Indian Ocean.
"Iran's military fleet is approaching the United States' maritime borders, and this move has a message," Rezayee was quoted as saying.
