AMAN Chief of Staff: No offensive vessel is safe Major General Abdullahi visits the shores of the Sea of Oman: The naval and land forces of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps 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; Contrary to American leaders' propaganda 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 enjoying high readiness and morale, respect the open waters of the Sea of Oman and its shores, and by monitoring all enemy movements in the area, they do not allow the movement of offending vessels. The entire Persian Gulf region and its islands, the Sea of Oman and its shores, and east and west of the Strait of Hormuz are under the control of the powerful 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 path and the Iranian arrangements, its safety will be compromised and it will suffer serious damage. The armed forces are in the Persian Gulf region, on the islands, in the Strait of Hormuz and on the shores of the Sea of Oman, much more prepared than before and with new and advanced equipment than before.
