Iranian Admiral Says US Aircraft Carriers Would Be Targeted In War -- The Hill
Iran will target U.S. aircraft carriers based in the Persian Gulf if a war were to ever erupt between both countries, an Iranian naval chief warned Tuesday.
"Aircraft carriers are the symbol of America's military might," Adm. Ali Fadavi, according to the Fars news agency. "The carriers are responsible for supplying America's air power. So, it's natural that we want to sink the carriers."
Fadavi is naval chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and made the remarks as Iran completes a large-scale mock-up of a U.S. carrier.
Iran is currently building a replica of the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier, which will be used in future military exercises.
The Revolutionary Guard’s navy has already targeted mock-up U.S. warships, Fadavi said, adding it took only 50 seconds to destroy one of them.
A U.S. Navy official in the Persian Gulf dismissed Iran’s warnings.

America has more to worry about than Iran at the min, with the NATO-Russian tensions flaring up over Ukraine.
RA Fadavi,
I really wouldn't try that if I were you.
Sir, I wish NCRI every success in its mission to establish a secular democratic system in Iran.
