Control of the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz Lies in the Capable Hands of the IRGC Navy / US $13 Billion Warships Have Lost Their Operational Effectiveness

The Commander of the IRGC Navy, stating that US officials' claims of control over the Strait of Hormuz are in complete contradiction with field realities, said: Intelligent control of the Persian Gulf and granting passage permits to vessels based on legal hierarchy rest exclusively with IRGC Navy fighters, and close coordination is maintained with the brave men of the Army's Navy in the Sea of Oman.

The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy stated that the claims of the American authorities about control over the Strait of Hormuz are completely in conflict with the realities on the ground, and stated that the intelligent control of the Persian Gulf and the issuing of permits for the passage of vessels based on the legal hierarchy is exclusively in the hands of the IRGC Navy fighters, and there is close coordination with the brave men of the Army Navy in the Oman Sea.

According to Ambassador Arjan, Admiral Ali Azmaei, the Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, in a television interview, explained the intelligence and operational control of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran over the southern waterways, the shameful dimensions of the presence of the American fleet and the consequences of terrorist and insecure movements of foreigners in the region.

Admiral Ali Azmaei, rejecting the White House's media coverage of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, said: American officials in their political analysis claim that this waterway is open under their will, but the reality of the field shows that the control of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz is completely under the control of the IRGC Navy 24/7, and any vessel that intends to pass through territorial waterways is required to obtain a permit and respond according to international standards.

He added: "The waters of the Oman Sea are also under the supervision and control of the brothers of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy with full authority, and the country's water borders have an unprecedented security factor."

Referring to the failure of America's ultra-advanced equipment in the face of the authority of Islamic fighters, the commander of the IRGC Navy stated: Due to their high vulnerability, the US$13 billion aircraft carriers do not have the courage to approach the crosshairs of our forces, and they are located 700-800 kilometers outside the region and have found no function other than a remote and featureless airport runway.

He reminded: Today, the American army's fleet has been reduced to an escort and fuel smuggler, and they are forced to take out some offending tankers with their lights off and stealthily by deploying expensive F-35, F-16, F-18 fighters and reconnaissance drones in the skies of the strait. An action that has increased the cost of transporting oil per barrel up to 150 dollars for them.

Regarding how to deal with maritime aggression, Admiral Azmai noted: Any vessel that intends to violate maritime laws by deceiving or inciting the Americans will face our decisive action. Despite the news boycott of the detentions and the punishment of the offending ships, the western media could not hide our authority and the publication of documentary images by the IRGC exposed the humiliation and desperation of the American army to the world.

He considered the security of the region to be an inherent need and emphasized: the neighboring Muslim countries can provide the economic, political and military security of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman in the best possible way with empathy and synergy, and there is no need for the seditious presence of the United States, which is present only with the aim of looting the region's resources.

Paying tribute to the insight and steadfastness of the Iranian nation, the commander of the IRGC Navy stated: The warriors of the state in the sea and on land are at the peak of combat readiness by following the wise orders of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and relying on God's help. Today, our equipment and tactics are far more advanced and efficient than in the past, and any calculation error of the enemy will be answered with a regretful reaction and the sinking of their vessels at the bottom of the waters of the Persian Gulf.
