Using "Secret weapon", Iran Planning to Destroy US Warships

Iran - According to the source, Iran's armed forces threaten to sink and destroy US warships that are in the Middle East with their missiles and "secret weapons". The threat was conveyed by one of the Iranian military officials, General Morteza Qorbani. Qorbani, an adviser to the Iranian military command, considers the deployment of aircraft carriers and US plans to increase troops in the Middle East region is a foolish move.

Qorbani told the news agency Mizan, Sunday (5/26) that, America was sending two warships to the Middle East and if they remain committed to ignorance, Iran will make the ships sink to the seabed with their crew and aircraft using two missiles or two of their secret weapons.

The move was taken by Iran after US President Donald Trump decided to leave the JCPOA nuclear agreement in May 2018. Washington also again dropped a series of sanctions against Tehran.  However, even though there is no intention of war, Trump has sent two aircraft carriers and bombers to the Middle East.

The US even announced they will send around 1,500 additional troops to the Middle East. Washington said that the deployment of troops was carried out to increase the defense to face the Iranian threat.

Iranian Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif stated that, they will fight against all forms of war efforts against Iran whether economically or militarily and they will face these threats with their strength.

It is reported that Since Rouhani's ultimatum, the US and Iran have continued to criticize each other. However, at the same time, Zarif said Iran wanted to establish better relations with the Arab countries in the Gulf and continue the business partnership as well.
