Iran Threatens US Aircraft Carrier

Iran Warns U.S. Over Aircraft Carrier -- CNN

(CNN) -- Iran warned the United States Tuesday not to return a U.S. aircraft carrier "to the Persian Gulf region."

"The Islamic Republic of Iran will not repeat its warning," said Maj. Gen. Ataollah Salehi, commander of Iran's Army, according to the state-run news agency IRNA.

Salehi "said the country will not adopt any irrational move but it is ready to severely react against any threat," the report added.

The U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, which patrols the region, had no immediate response.

Iran ended naval drills in the region Monday evening.
