TEHERAN - A top general in Irans Revolutionary Guards on Monday warned that the Basij militia were ready if necessary to carry out suicide operations in the Gulf, amid rising tensions with the United States, the Fars news agency reported.
If necessary we will take advantage of the element of martyrdom-seeking, said Brigadier General Ali Fahdavi, deputy head of the Revolutionary Guards naval forces.
This spirit is prevailing now throughout the Revolutionary Guards, he added. The Basij militia is part of the Guards military apparatus.
They have taken an example from Shahid (martyr) Fahmideh, Fahdavi said, referring to 13-year-old Iranian Hossein Fahmideh who became a national hero after blowing himself up under an Iraqi tank in the 1980-1988 war.
The scene of the Persian Gulf and strategic Strait of Hormuz is such that even a small operation can have a big impact, he added.

It is a strange country where you're considered a national hero for blowing yourself up.
Their whole strategy is tactically stupid on their part--The more terrorists who blow themselves up, the less we have to deal with. Thanks guys.

The only thing they know how to do. Kill everyone they can by using children and the mentally deranged.

Would be different results if we had the C-Wiz and Metalstorm in WW2.

Oh yeah, go back to the sand box and play while I load my Uzi.
What an uneven dimension. We must live in a time machine.

Nah, let's hold off till November 4. It'll be extra-poignant to blast 'em on their revolution's anniversary. It'll slap 'em in the face even harder.
