Iran threatens to deploy ships near US shores
The head of Iran’s navy said the country aims to put its warships in international waters off the US coast “in the next few years.”
The comments Tuesday from Admiral Habibollah Sayyari on state TV are part of Iran’s response to Washington’s beefed up naval presence in the Persian Gulf.
The US Navy’s 5th fleet is based in Bahrain — across the gulf from Iran — and the US plans maritime war games later this month.
Iran has made similar claims in the past, saying its ships could soon sail into international waters off the US coast.
