Iran threatens to destroy US ships threatening the country's security

US ships threatening Iran’s security will be attacked by the Iranian armed forces. The corresponding statement was made by the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Hossein Salami.

Commenting on the statement by US President Donald Trump that he gave permission to the US Navy ships to destroy any Iranian boats that impede American ships, Salami announced a similar order given to the Iranian Navy. According to the commander of the IRGC, Iran is "determined" to protect the country's territorial integrity and national security.



We ordered our Navy. If a USS or US unit threatens our security, it will be attacked.

- the Iranian media cited a statement by Salami.

The IRGC commander promised the Americans a "quick and decisive response."

Recall that the US Navy accused the Iranian military boats from the IRGC of "dangerous maneuvers and provocations" near the warships of the United States fleeton April 15 in the Persian Gulf. On April 22, US President Donald Trump wrote on his Twitter page that he ordered US ships to "destroy any Iranian combat boats if they pursue American ships at sea."

        Yes, you, my friend, "anti-simit" turns out. You will be fiercely minus.
        Iran’s ability to resist aircraft carriers has grown noticeably. They have already figured out the Patriot, at least when they hit the air base in Al-Assad in Iraq. You can remember the oil fields of the SA. So it will be interesting to see how it all ends.

        The commander of the naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, reported that sea-based missiles with a radius of action of 700 kilometers were put into service at the IRGC. The weapons system was fully developed in Iran.

        "But there were times when the range of our naval missiles did not exceed 45 kilometers, and Iran succeeded only with the help of American military instructors. Now the military engineering elite gives us a completely different weapon," he said.

          In fairness, it should be noted that when striking the Al-Assad base, the Patriot mattresses were absent from the word altogether. Now they are transferring it there and deploying it to protect the remaining bases. By the way, yes, is this not due to the fact that the mattresses were preparing a provocation in the bay, took into account Iran’s willingness to respond to the strike with a retaliatory strike and are well aware that in the event of a slaughter with Tehran, missile strikes from the bases will be duplicated.

          Iranians are experts in boastful statements (as is customary in the East). But in fact, they are not at all lovers of war, much less with the most powerful country in the world. They are lovers of hybrid wars with the help of their proxies: Hussites, Hezbollah, Iraqi Shiites

      Hardly anyone can give a planetary "peacemaker" in the teeth right now, except Russia.
      The question is different - not long ago we saw "cheek puffing", "aircraft carriers off the coast", etc. I'm talking about North Korea. How did it end? That's right - by bursting of the inflated cheeks.
      In the strategic plan (unless, of course, Korea does not lie) Iran, of course, is inferior to Korea. But in the tactical - four orders of magnitude higher - there is geography, and weapons, and politics ...

      So, as Nostradamus said - "do not wake the tiger".
      The Americans, with their characteristic madness, will wake up. We will disentangle everything - and those who are farther from the dollar are not so bitter.

I guess it won’t have to wait long, even if the US does not sink the ships of the Iranian Navy, then unknown people will sink a couple of tankers in the coming days. The U.S. Navy will be happy to seize the chance. The Americans fear how to raise the price of oil, otherwise their own shale oil industry will bend. And there the financial pyramid will be no less than GKO

        There are two goals:
        1 Under this topic, bomb the Iranian nuclear program (which the Americans can do)
        2 To stop the flow of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz (Iran will simply flood it with bottom mines in case of military provocation)

Another thing is that this will increase the turnover of dollar trade, but, again, because of the pandemic, there is not much demand for hydrocarbons, everyone filled the oil storage facilities at the most reluctant, with a huge decline in production.

            No, in the modern world for the United States and its allies, the destruction of foreign infrastructure by missiles is not at all synonymous with a declaration of war. They already showed this in Syria: they accused and bombed (destroyed by missiles), and in Iraq they did the same when they bombed the Iraqi, Shiite militia. So, for them, if they didn’t get an answer, then this is not a war, but simply the restoration of American order.

            As for the Israelis. Remember Operation Opera, how the Israeli Air Force bombed an Iraqi nuclear reactor. This ended Baghdad’s nuclear program.

As we know, this is the prerogative of the Iranian Supreme Commander, who is the President of Iran .. Salami can give such an order to the IRGC forces, which include warships and boats ..
    The structure of the Iranian Armed Forces is such that the Army and the IRGC are two independent structures that have the NE, Air Force, Navy and Air Defense .. The army is commanded by the MoD, and the IRGC is commanded by Salami, who reports not to the President of Iran, but to the supreme spiritual leader of Khamnei ..
    Most likely a similar order was given to the naval forces of the IRGC

      And do not you think that after this Iran will crave everything that it has?

      Craving and not thinking - in response to US aggression. Tactical. And here you have a limited nuclear war. What America has long wanted.

      If our minds are enough, then they will not turn up. Without us, 10-20 million Iranians and 20-50 thousand Americans will die. AND in 60 years, as today in Japan, Iran will believe that Russia delivered a nuclear strike on Iran .....

      The last argument of kings ...

      own design at least two:
      Quadir (almost Klingon name wassat ), sea-based and land-based PCRs with a range of up to 300km,
      Gader, range 222 km,
      as well as:
      Harpoons of old versions, possibly modified,
      Chinese unknown modifications.
      so there is something to crash

    don’t guess why so? and in Iran there are oligators with accounts in Cyprus in Switzerland, Luxembourg, Monaco? Do their children study at Harvard or Oxford? Or is there an estate in the suburbs of London, on the azure coastline, in Hawaii?
    or do Iranians sail on yachts with a destroyer?
    that’s why we can’t because those in power at once lose all this as soon as they open their mouths

    Right! It's not for nothing that we have a saying: gasoline in Russia rises in price in two cases - if the price of oil falls, or if the price of oil rises!

    In three cases. The third is when nothing happens to oil prices.

      Nobody wants to take Korea to their balance, South Korea has long been burning with the desire to reunite with the north - to have a problem for a couple of decades. And since the southern ones do not want, then what then do the Americans from the northern do-prize is overhead and ruinous.

    In the event of a conflict, the main thing is that the Americans do not make previous mistakes. Namely: to overthrow the current government, to instill democracy, and indeed to get involved in Iran’s internal policy, to divide the natives into friends and foes. That's right: destroy the military base, knock out teeth, so to speak, and slightly damage the economic foundation. And dump. Let the local clerics disentangle with their population. Toothless pug is better than pug with teeth.

      If the problem could be solved with one blow, then the Americans would have hit for a long time. Obviously they (their analysts) get a forecast for a long and unprofitable war (also the growth of terrorism).
      Times have also changed. I was impressed by the drones attacking the Saudi oil refinery. A smart cruise missile was previously created by superpowers, and now somewhere in the Iranian Muhos they make an analogue of a tomahawk! Even without direct losses, the cost of protection will be high.
      I read earlier that the submarines and raiders of the Germans forced the Anglo-Saxons to strain, they would spend heavily on protective measures and they (measures) cost much more than direct losses or the construction of ships by the Germans.

    The IRGC, as part of a fanatical theocracy, is not far from going into an uncontrollable tailspin. They cannot remain silent in response - they will "lose face," and the loss of face in most Middle Eastern cultures is considered worse than even a military defeat. And they also cannot do nothing after their statements for the same reasons. They are left to "defend resolutely", but not too close to the American ships, and "give a quick response", but by.
    And here they enter the blade of the knife, because it is enough for the Americans to accept an imitation of an attack as truth, and the IRGC boats will be destroyed. Naturally, the same thing will happen if the ayatollah is completely insane and starts the attack first.
    What will the regime do in this case? You can start a full-fledged regional war, which, taking into account the internal Iranian sentiments, will most likely lead to a change of power. One can "surrender" the IRGC by disowning its actions as exceeding authority, which will lead to a decrease in authority.
    The Iranian leadership cannot be envied, but what is happening is natural: a totalitarian regime is not viable in the absence of permanent external enemies, and the logic of "struggle" with these enemies gradually brings its death.
