[Iran Claims U.S. Navy Has 'Fled' Waters Near Iran, Warns of Potential Long-Term War of Attrition] According to Golden Finance, Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran, Fadavi, stated that there are currently no U.S. naval vessels within 700 kilometers of Iran's surrounding waters. He claimed that the U.S. Navy has 'fled' the area because the U.S. is well aware that Iran has developed special operational plans specifically aimed at targeting and sinking its aircraft carriers. Fadavi also mentioned that Iranian armed forces shot down a U.S. F-15 fighter jet south of Tehran. Furthermore, Fadavi warned that the U.S. must consider the possibility of being drawn into a long-term war of attrition, which could lead to the complete collapse of the U.S. and even the global economy.
