Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari underlined on Sunday his forces' readiness to repel naval threats, saying his forces are fully informed of enemies' weak points.

"The enemy is vulnerable despite all its equipment and we powerfully stand against any threat or incident at the sea," Sayyari said.

"We powerfully stand against threats to the Islamic Republic's borders, resources and interests," he added.

Also in March, Sayyari underscored his forces' high level of preparedness to push back any possible threat to the nation.

"The young Naval forces are ready to confront any threat" and they will defeat the enemies in a humiliating way, Sayyari said, addressing Navy cadets in Tehran.

Stressing the Iranian Navy's high capabilities, he reminded that Iran was present in the high seas in addition to the territorial waters, coasts and islands, and said: "We defend the interests of Islamic Republic of Iran anywhere needed."

Meantime, Sayyari stressed that Iran sends its warships to the international waters to ensure safe voyage of tradeships and to send a message of peace and friendship to the regional states and other countries across the world.

He also said that Iran was in control in 5 important world waterways.

"The world has 9 important waterways and Iran controls 5 of them," Sayyari said in a meeting with a delegation of Pakistani military cadets in Tehran.

He underlined the importance of security in the Gulf of Aden and free waters to Iran, and said the Iranian fleet of warships had had 200 anti-piracy combats and arrested pirates in three cases so far.

Elsewhere, Sayyari warned that the US and its allies were seeking to create insecurity in the region to justify their deployment in the regional waters.

"The security of every region should be established by the countries of that region. We don't want to deploy in the Gulf of Aden under the command of another country, although we are ready for close cooperation with the regional states," the Iranian commander concluded.
