AIThe deputy political commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy, Ali Mohammadi, stated that no vessel moves in the Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, or Sea of Oman without being monitored by the IRGC Navy, adding that any ship can be targeted at any location if required.
According to remarks carried by Iran's IRNA news agency on Sunday, Mohammadi said that all ship movements in the Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and Sea of Oman are under full surveillance by the IRGC Navy, and any vessel can be destroyed at any point if necessary.
He added that the strength of these forces is the result of a combination of faith and strategy, saying: "Our soldiers draw their resolve from supplication to the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) and the visitation of Ashura, and their strategic acumen comes from years of combat experience on coasts, islands, and at sea."
The IRGC Navy deputy commander continued: "The Americans believe they can force us to surrender by destroying a few bridges or roads; yet we have remained present even in the harshest weather conditions, including on Farsi Island, which is no larger than a few football fields, and we have never lost contact with our homeland."
He stressed: "We have been training for years to confront the enemy and are awaiting the moment to face them at sea." Referring to former US President Donald Trump’s comments at the NATO summit about unresolved issues with Iran, he said: "Yes, we also have unresolved issues with you, but these files will only be resolved by your defeat."
