Fars News Agency :: IRGC Navy Records Video of US Aircraft Carrier
IRGC Navy Records Video of US Aircraft Carrier
TEHRAN (FNA)- The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) naval forces monitoring foreign military moves in the Persian Gulf have recorded an almost one-hour-long video of a US aircraft carrier from a very close distance, a senior IRGC commander announced on Saturday.
"Forces of the IRGC's second naval zone have recoded a 50-minute video of a US aircraft carrier from 500-meter distance," Commander of the IRGC's Second Naval Zone Ali Razmjou said, addressing a provincial meeting in Iran's Southern port city of Bushehr.
The commander said the move "displays just a small part of the IRGC forces' power and success in the Persian Gulf", adding that given their military capabilities and preparedness, the Iranian Armed Forces do not fear the US threats.
This is not the first time that Iranian forces tracked, photographed and recorded video of a US aircraft carrier.
In December 2011, Iran's Navy Commander Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said that an Iranian vessel and a surveillance plane recorded video of a US aircraft carrier during the Navy drills near the Strait of Hormoz in the Persian Gulf.
In April, Commander of the IRGC Navy Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi had stressed his forces' domination and control over the US Navy ships in the Persian Gulf, and said that the American naval forces need IRGC's permission for any move in the regional waters.
"Today, Americans admit and acknowledge that the Persian Gulf is under the tight control of the IRGC Navy," Fadavi said at the time.
"This doesn't mean inspection (of their ships), but controlling (them). That is to say, they should receive our permission and account to us for any move they want to make," he explained.
Also in April, another commander of the IRGC said that all vessels, including the US warships, enter the Persian Gulf waters through the Strait of Hormuz only after they are checked by the IRGC naval forces.
"The alien vessels which enter the Persian Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz always provide the needed answers and information to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) units," Lieutenant Commander of the IRGC Navy Alireza Tangsiri said at the time.
