\u201cIf the region was set on fire, the foreigners would merely seek to convince regional countries that they need weapons,\u201d Rear Admiral Alireza\u00a0Tangsiri said. \u201cIn fact, the United States and the United Kingdom want to insinuate that the region is insecure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

He said the Persian Gulf was an \u201cenclosed\u201d gulf, and that US aircraft carriers and submarines operating on nuclear fuel would cause serious trouble if \u201cthey encountered some problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
