Major General Ali Abdollahi, the chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, has said that the US Navy is no longer capable of approaching the waters surrounding the Persian Gulf or Iran’s territorial waters, Press TV reports.

The US president should only dream of seeing his military and armed forces enter the Persian Gulf again, he said, adding, “They will take this wish to their graves.”

“Under no circumstances and at no time will we allow US military vessels to enter the Persian Gulf.”
