IRAN MILITARY THE MOST POWERFUL WAR MACHINE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

http://www.emirates247.com/news/world/iran-ready-to-close-strait-of-hormuz-ge... ---------------------- Iran ready to close Strait of Hormuz: General --------------

Iran is ready if threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz to ships linking the Gulf to international markets, Revolutionary Guards commander General Mohammad Ali Jafari told Mehr news agency on Monday.

"In light of the strategic position of the Strait of Hormuz, this issue has never been taken off the agenda," Jafari said, commenting on whether Tehran was still prepared to close down the shipping lane if threatened.

"We have not stopped there... we are seeking to use our defence capabilities in open waters," Jafari added as forces under his command prepared to launch the naval phase of the 10-day Great Prophet-6 exercise, which lasts until Friday.

Media reported the Guards will launch surface-to-sea missiles on Tuesday.

So far, during the drills, the Guards have launched a range of ballistic missiles that Iran says are able to hit Israel and US bases in the region.

"This means that should the enemy try to pose a threat against the Islamic republic from outside the Strait of Hormuz, we will have the power to retaliate in kind. This strategy is now on our agenda," said Jafari.

Tehran's arch foes Washington and Israel have never ruled out the option of military strikes against Iran to stop its nuclear programme, which the West suspects masks a drive to develop weapons of mass destruction despite Iran's insistance of its peaceful intentions.

Iran's navy has only a few frigates and submarines on the high seas, but a year ago it began to deploy them to the Indian Ocean, the Gulf of Aden and even the Red Sea.

Iranian military officials have often warned of blocking the Strait of Hormuz - the passage for 40 per cent of the world's oil supplied by sea - in case the country comes under attack.

Early in February the commander of Guards' naval forces, Ali Fadavi said: "The Islamic republic has the ability to block the Strait of Hormuz if threatened."

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway of strategic importance between the Gulf on the east and the Gulf of Oman on the west. Iran lays on its northern banks with Oman to its south.

Wait a minute you may be the most dominate military in the middle east but all yourr potential allies are in retreat.I suggest you deal Israel before we the us deals with Syria or your soldiers will be forced to fight a fully trained anxious American military thinking this is the last invasion we get it done we go home for good.Our vietnam vets could destroy Iran in one month before you even knew they were there we are against a war with Iran so dont be so like come get it because we will.
