Iran’s Top General Warns US Navy of Potential Revolutionary Guard’s Crosshairs

Gen. Hossein Salami, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, says he ordered Iran’s naval units to attack U.S. naval vessels if they “jeopardize” 🪖Military or commercial ships.

On Thursday, Salami told Iranian state television that Iranian forces would “answer any action by a decisive, effective and quick counteraction.”

He continued, “We have ordered our naval units at sea that if any warships or 🪖Military units from the naval force of America’s terrorist army wants to jeopardize our commercial vessels or our combat vessels, they must target those (American) warships or naval units.”

Salami’s warning comes a day after President Donald Trump said in a tweet that he had ordered the U.S. Navy to “shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea.”

Last week, the Navy’s 5th Fleet said that 11 Iranian vessels “conducted dangerous and harassing approaches” around U.S. warships.

“The IRGCN’s dangerous and provocative actions increased the risk of miscalculation and collision,” the Navy said.
