Speaking to FNA, Lieutenant Commander of the IRGC Navy for Operations General Mahmoud Fahimi pointed to the minesweeping dills due to be conducted by the US and its allies in the region, and stated, "Americans boast a lot about many things, but they are facing problems in practice. We have no doubt that the US cannot do anything in area of minesweeping."
Referring to the reports about the deployment of tiny US underwater drones in the Persian Gulf to help find and destroy sea mines, Fahimi stressed the complex task of mine sweeping, and said, "Look, how weak they are that they want to use minesweeping drones. If they had the ability and capability, they would carry out the minesweeping by manned systems because this cannot be done with unmanned vessels and systems."
He further stressed that the IRGC is a master of mine designing and enjoys an unbeatable capability to mass-produce different types of mines.
"The IRGC navy also enjoys other capabilities to confront enemies and the Americans will find them out when necessary," the commander underscored.
