A top military adviser to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution says US warships in the Persian Gulf waters are within the reach of the country's defense systems.
Speaking at this week's Friday Prayers, Brigadier General Yahya Rahim-Safavi said Iran's 2,000 km long coastal strip along the Persian Gulf allows the country to target any hostile navel activity in the area.
"Every American warship is within the reach of our armed forces' surface-to-sea missiles," Rahim Safavi said, suggesting that the consequences of a strike against Iran would be different from Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Sixty-five percent of the world's oil passes through the Persian Gulf," he added.
