Iran's IRGC Navy Claims Monitoring of All Persian Gulf Vessels
A senior Islamic Revolution Guards Corps official said no vessel can move through the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, or Sea of Oman without Iranian monitoring.
A senior Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy official said all vessels in the Persian Gulf region are under Iran's watch and that the force has the capability to strike any vessel if ordered, according to state news agency IRNA.
The statement was made in Sari and reflects Iran's assertion of naval dominance over key Middle Eastern shipping routes, including the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz.
