Iranian Commander Challenges ‘Enemy’ Naval Presence In Region

RFL/RE – The commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps vowed on January 6 to reach “the enemy” far and near as tensions soar on key shipping routes where Tehran’s allies have been attacking vessels. “Today, we are facing an all-out battle with the enemy,” said Hossein Salami at a ceremony in the Gulf port city of Bandar Abbas, where the revolutionary guards unveiled a new ship and 100 missile launchers. Salami didn’t name the enemy, but 22 nations have agreed to participate in a U.S.-led coalition to safeguard commercial traffic in the Red Sea from attacks by Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi movement.
