| Iranian commander issues stern warning to US to stay away from IRGC Navy |
| 2019-04-11 |
| [ALMASDARNEWS] Mohsen Rezaei, a senior commander in Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), has warned the US Navy to keep its vessels, including an aircraft carrier, at a distance from IRGC speed boats in Gulf waters. “Mr Trump, tell your warships not to pass near the Revolutionary Guards boats”, the ISNA news agency cited Rezaei as saying on Tuesday. The remarks came a day after Washington designated the IRGC as a terrorist organisation, in what Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei described as a move rooted in America’s “rancour” against the IRGC. “The IRGC is the vanguard both on the field confronting the enemy on [Iranian] borders and even several thousand kilometres away [in Syria] as well as on the political battleground against the enemy”, Khamenei pointed out. Referring to the US’ move to blacklist the IRGC, Khamenei said that “such malice will lead nowhere” and that “with the their deceit rebounding back to themselves, the Islamic Republic’s enemies — such as Trump and the idiots […] in the US government — are moving toward rock bottom”. IRGC head Mohammad Ali Jafari, in turn, dismissed Washington’s designation, which he said “was quite laughable since the Revolutionary Guards are in people’s hearts”. Jafari also pledged that “the Revolutionary Guards will increase its defensive and offensive capabilities in coming year”. Earlier, Iran’s Supreme Security Council reportedly designated the US CENTCOM and related forces as a terrorist organisation. “As a retaliatory measure to the US illegal decision [to recognize the IRGC as a terrorist organization], Iran declares the US regime a ‘state that supports terrorism’ and the CENTCOM and forces that are linked to it a ‘terrorist group’”, the security council’s statement, quoted by the Islamic Republic of Iranian Broadcasting state media outlet, read. Announcing the decision to blacklist the IRGC on Monday, US President Donald Trump boasted that this “unprecedented” move “recognises the reality that Iran is not only a state sponsor of terrorism, but that the IRGC actively participates in, finances, and promotes terrorism as a tool of statecraft”. |

| #7 I think we need to capture some of their sailors, and have them dress up in baseball uniforms and sing Def Leopard live stream as part of their release conditions. |

| #6 Maybe they think their bosom buddy Obumble is still in charge? I'm fairy sure Trump has said, there will be no navy surrender to these chimps. |

| #2 We have working rail guns on some of our ships, right? Time for some production-level field testing, wouldn't you say? |

| #1 Deliberately provoke the IRDG, set them up and then crowd them. Get inside their space and then ruin their shoes. Make it obvious you are provoking them. They are afraid of the US. They can be humiliated. Be ready to document their reaction and then publicize it. No one will feel sorry if a few get killed. Or we can treat Iran like Obama would treat them. See if that works. Be SURE and keep the US Navy away from the IRDG boats and be nice nice . Bend over backwards to be kind and thoughtful. And remember War is "unfair". Piss in the Prophet's beard. |
