On September 27, 2011, Iranian Army naval commander Habibollah Sayyari stated that Tehran would soon deploy its navy in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of the U.S. Sayyari explained, "Like the arrogant powers [i.e., the U.S.] that are present near our marine borders, we will also have a powerful presence close to the American marine borders." Already in mid-July 2011, Sayyari announced that Tehran was examining the possibility of dispatching a naval fleet to the Atlantic to be armed, he said, with "Nour" long-range anti-ship cruise missiles, as an extension of its presence in the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal, and the southern Indian Ocean. It should be emphasized that in early July 2011, the commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Mohammad Ali Jafari, said in an interview with the Mehr news agency that the IRGC was prioritizing the strategy "of developing Iran's defensive capability on the open seas." He added that this meant that "if the enemy plans to pose a threat to the Islamic Republic of Iran from outside the Strait of Hormuz, [Iran] is capable of taking reciprocal action," in addition to closing the strait. It should be noted that the navy of the Iranian Army is in charge of engaging foreign forces, while the IRGC navy is charged with securing the Islamic regime at home. In February 2011, Tehran sent an Iranian Army naval force to Syria via the Suez Canal. To read in full, visit http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/5701.htm.

This [revolution] has become international. That's it. The revolution has been exported, as we always said it would. Now, we have to prepare for the subsequent stages."

Muhammad Ashur: "I say to all my brothers and sisters: Jihad has become an individual duty incumbent upon each and every one of us, because our enemies have grown arrogant and have persisted in their great tyranny. "In an even uglier display, they publicly declare their support and defense of injustice, even though they boast that they denounce any injustice and that they are the ones who legislate human rights.
