A high-ranking Iranian military official says the naval forces of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) are fully ready to confront US navy ships in the Persian Gulf.

Commander of the IRGC Navy Admiral Ali Fadavi told Fars news agency on Monday that the IRGC is in control of the southern strategic Strait of Hormuz

Fadavi said that the IRGC is carrying out special drills to develop its capability to destroy and sink US Navy ships in the region.

“We have been making and sinking mock US destroyers, frigates and warships for a long time, and have even sunk a replica of their vessels in 50 seconds through all kinds of operational measures,” said Fadavi.

If you can sink an unarmed stationary model of a ship, then taking out a hypervigilant fully armed and mobile U.S. warship is a piece of cake.

1. I see their version of t-baggers and neocons are making noise

Why these folks want to stir up shit is beyond me. If they ever get what they want they are gonna be dead in a hurry.

2. Iran is developing its capability to get a lot of their sailors killed quickly

Hopefully this is for internal consumption and their military doesn't actually believe this.
