Hamid Reza Haji Babaei has warned that any US strike on Iran would trigger repeated attacks on an American aircraft carrier until it is destroyed.
Speaking publicly, he claimed the carrier would not be able to withstand sustained Iranian assaults.
The comments reflect increasingly aggressive rhetoric from Tehran as tensions with the United States remain high.
Iranian officials have repeatedly signalled that any military confrontation would be met with direct and prolonged retaliation against US forces in the region.
