US Navy: Iran prepares suicide bomb boats in Gulf
Iran has built up its naval forces in the Gulf and prepared boats that could be used in suicide attacks, the commander of US naval forces in the region said on Sunday, adding that the US Navy can prevent the Islamic Republic from blocking the Strait of Hormuz
"They have increased the number of submarines ... they increased the number of fast attack craft," Vice Admiral Mark Fox told reporters. "Some of the small boats have been outfitted with a large warhead that could be used as a suicide explosive device. The Iranians have a large mine inventory." (Reuters)
