The Jerusalem Post published an article headlined "Tehran sending ‘message’ as warships approach US."
"Iranian naval fleets were on their way across the Atlantic Ocean and headed toward the US," the author quotes the Fars news agency as saying on Saturday.
“Iran’s military fleet is approaching the United States’ maritime borders, and this move has a message,” Admiral Afshin Rezayee Haddad of Iran’s Northern Navy Fleet said.
" Iran had first warned the US of its plans to deploy its naval forces along US marine borders “in the next few years” in September 2012," the newspaper writes.
" Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Saturday the United States would overthrow the Iranian government if it could, adding Washington had a “controlling and meddlesome” attitude towards the Islamic Republic," the article reads.
"Khamenei’s comments about hostility reflect his long-standing animosity towards the United States, seen as the arch-enemy by Iranian authorities. The US and Iran have had no official ties since 1980 after Iranian students occupied the US embassy in Tehran, taking 52 diplomats hostage in protest against Washington’s admission of the former Shah after he was toppled by the Islamic Revolution," the author writes.
"Khamenei has given his guarded support to the nuclear negotiations being led by the new reformist government of President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif," the article reads.
