U.S.: Iran navy not prepping for war

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- A top U.S. Navy official said Tuesday Iran's navy shows no indication of preparing for a war with the United States.

"Their activity is normal," said Vice Adm. John W. Morgan, the deputy chief of naval operations for information, plans and strategy, at a breakfast with reporters in Washington.

He said the Iranian navy is "very, very professional," and communicates with the U.S. Navy.

"We want to avoid any miscalculation, any accident. They are a professional force," he said.

Nevertheless, the U.S. Navy is paying close attention to Iran's arsenal of three Kilo-class submarines.

"That we think is a significant addition to their capabilities," Morgan said.
