[Iranian Revolutionary Guards Navy Commander: Waiting for U.S. warships to approach and sink them] On October 14th, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Navy Commander Azmaei said, "The valuable U.S. warship has become useless. It is 700 kilometers away from the Strait of Hormuz because it does not dare to approach. Iran is waiting for the U.S. warship to approach the entrance of the Strait of Hormuz and then sink it. We are counting down the days and waiting for this day to come." Azmayee said that Iran can establish economic, political and military security with its neighbors and that the United States is not needed in the region. "The U.S. military must withdraw from the area. The United States is powerless and has lost face." He emphasized that Iran's equipment is now more advanced and it has turned its tactical weaknesses into advantages. Iran's soldiers are more prepared than before.
