RNA - "The high degree of the US despair and anger at the Islamic Revolution's growth as well as the failure of the US plots and conspiracies in the region have made that country's president utter delirious words," General Fadavi said on Saturday in reaction to Trump's recent statement at the UN General Assembly meeting in New York.

He called on the American people and advisors to Trump to remind him that the "US military commanders fear even the possibility of confrontation against the Islamic Republic of Iran's Armed Forces".

In relevant remarks in April, General Fadavi underlined superiority of Iran's naval power in the Persian Gulf over the US and its regional allies.

"The IRGC Navy is fully ready against foreign threats and 100 light and heavy vessels are prepared to defend the country's water borders against the US and its regional allies every day," Admiral Fadavi said.

He underscored Iran's naval superiority over the US and its regional allies in the Persian Gulf, and said, "Today, the one who feels endangered at the water borders is the Americans."

Also, in mid-March, Admiral Fadavi warned that Washington is using every means to prevent the growth of Iran's deterrence power.

"Our enemies, headed by the US, are using all their power to control Iran's deterrence power," Fadavi said, addressing a ceremony in the Southern province of Khuzestan.

He, meantime, underlined that the enemies are aware of Iran's defense power, and said, "They are sure that they cannot harm our country by launching military war."
