Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
CENTCOM commander General John C. Aquilino told reporters in Tehran that it would take a generation for Iran’s navy to return to its former strength.
Aquilino, speaking at a briefing in the Iranian capital, said the U.S{’} military has been monitoring Iran’s naval buildup and that the country’s current capabilities are far below what they were in the 1980s. He added that rebuilding the navy would require a long-term effort.
The statement comes amid ongoing U.S. concerns over Iran’s maritime activities in the Persian Gulf, though no new sanctions or military actions were announced.
