‘U.S. military movements out of fear of Iran’s threat’, says general

Two days after a U.S. Navy ship fired at an approaching fishing boat off the United Arab Emirates, killing one person and injuring three others, the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Naval Force has attributed increased military movements of the United States in the region to:

The enemies’ fear of the threat of the Islamic Republic of Iran that there will be no security for the United States and its allies if the national security of Iran would be undermined.”

Speaking before a gathering of commanders and personnel of the IRGC Naval Force in Mashhad on Wednesday, Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi also described the increased movements of U.S. naval vessels in the Persian Gulf as a publicity stunt.

Shortly after the official announcement that (new) sanctions against Iran have come into effect… we are witnessing small military movements in the region, which can be examined from defense perspectives. All the movements of the enemies are being closely monitored by the combatants of the IRGC Naval Force,” he added.

The European Union’s oil embargo on Iran took effect on July 1 and a new U.S. law that penalizes countries that do business with the Central Bank of Iran by denying their banks access to the U.S. market came into force on June 28.
