Nader Mahdavi
At the end of the Iran–Iraq War, the Persian Gulf was an unsafe place for Iranians, because Iraqi forces could easily bomb Iranian ships and oil platforms. Also, American naval forces protected other countries passing through the Persian Gulf, especially the Strait of Hormuz. Commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps informed Ruhollah Khomeini, leader of Iran, about American cruisers in the Persian Gulf. Khomeini said: "If it was me, i would attack them". For this reason, Nader Mahdavi prepared his forces for operations against American cruisers.
