Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces: No offensive vessel is safe.
🔹 The naval and land forces of the Revolutionary Guards have full control over the shores of the Persian Gulf, the islands and the Strait of Hormuz, and every movement in this area is under serious surveillance. He announced that contrary to American leaders' advertising and media claims that the Strait of Hormuz is open and free, this strategic waterway is completely closed and managed by the control and supervision of the IRGC's powerful navy.
🔹 The navy and army forces, while being prepared and with high morale, respect the open waters of the Sea of Oman and its shores with full respect and caution, and by monitoring all enemy movements in the area, do not allow the movement of offending vessels. The entire area of the Persian Gulf and its islands, the Sea of Oman and its shores, and to the east and west of the Strait of Hormuz are under the control of the strong armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and while the Strait of Hormuz is closed, no vessel is allowed to travel through this strategic waterway outside of Iranian arrangements.
🔹 Any offending vessel that for any reason wants to go outside the designated route and the Iranian arrangements, its safety will be compromised and it will suffer serious damage.
Armed militant forces are in the Persian Gulf region, on the islands, in the Strait of Hormuz and in the Sea of Oman, much more prepared than before and with new and advanced equipment than before, strong and authoritative, and will face every evil and aggression of the enemy with greater force than before.
