       Iran is capable of firing 11,000 rockets into enemy bases within the first minute after any possible attack, state-run television quoted a top Revolutionary Guards Corps commander as saying Saturday. Gen. Mahmoud Chaharbaghi, the missile commander of the Guards, said Iran has identified all enemy positions and was prepared to respond in less than a minute to any possible attack. "Enemy bases and positions have been identified. ... The Guards ground force will fire 11,000 rockets into identified enemy positions within the first minute of any aggression against the Iranian territory," the television quoted Chaharbaghi as saying.Chaharbaghi did not specifically identify the bases or the enemy and did not refer to arch foes Israel or the United States by name. The US has 40,000 troops on various US bases in other Persian Gulf countries and 20,000 in Mideast waters. Another 160,000 US troops are in neighboring Iraq, Jpost reported.(20,06)
