IRGC Chief visits Abu Musa island base
As Iranian-US tensions peaked, the Revolutionary Guards commander Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami Saturday visited the IRGC’s military base on the Gulf island of Abu Musa. Salami said the IRGC Navy has in recent years achieved “wonderful capabilities and gains,” and what we see today is part of those capabilities and power in the sea. He added pointedly, “Among those capabilities is the ability to counter hostile submarines,” a veiled threat to the US and Israeli submarines recently deployed in Gulf waters.
