Deputy Governor General of Iran's southern province of Hormuzgan
strongly rejected rumors about eruption of clashes between Iranian
and US battleships in the Persian Gulf.
Speaking to FNA, the official viewed the rumor as a part of the
enemies' psychological war on Iran, and added, "Such efforts
are made to break the Iranians' resolve after West's efforts in
the form of the UN Security Council Resolution 1737 to influence
Iran's decision through downgrading public morale failed."
An informed source in the security department of the Iranian
interior ministry also denied such reports as baseless.
The only operation on the coastal provinces in southern Iran
in the last two days pertained to a clash between Iran's Law Enforcement
Police and a gang of smugglers in the vicinity of the Persian
Gulf port city of Jask.
Since the early hours of Sunday morning, many Iranian subscribers
have received an SMS which spoke of a clash between Iranian and
American battleships in the Persian Gulf waters.
