| Iran's Guards have 'length and breadth' of Gulf covered |
| 2007-08-18 |
| The chief commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards on Wednesday boasted of his elite force's military prowess, saying its missiles and ships had the "length and breadth" of the Gulf under cover. "We have surface-to-sea missile systems that can cover the length and breadth of the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman," Yahya Rahim Safavi, the commander of the Revolutionary Guards told Iran's international Persian language Jam-e Jam televison channel in an interview. "No boat or vessel can cross the Persian Gulf without being within the range of our coastal missiles," he warned in the interview, which was reproduced by the semi-official Fars news agency. |

| #2 Again, this justifies the partitioning of Iran, to take away Iranian Kurdistan and Khuzestan, so that Iran can no longer menace Gulf shipping. |

| #1 Yeah, with all your old crappy equipment and a willingness to die like lemmings (i.e.: "prowess"), you might even manage to hit a few before being wiped out. |
