Commander Reiterates IRGC Navy’s Close Watch on Hostile Regional Moves
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps naval forces keep a close watch on the entire regional moves, a senior IRGC commander underlined.
“At present, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps and the (forces in) IRGC Navy second naval zone have a full supremacy over the regional moves,” General Ali Razmjoo, commander of the second naval zone of the IRGC told reporters in the country’s southern port city of Bushehr on Thursday.
The commander also underscored that the IRGC forces will not remain “indifferent” to any hostile measure taken by the enemies.
General Razmjoo added that the IRGC Navy is now in possession of the “most advanced defensive equipment” thanks to the successful efforts by the Iranian local experts.
In relevant comments in February, IRGC Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi had announced that the American forces' moves are being closely monitored all over the Middle East region and beyond it.
"We are monitoring Americans all around the Middle East region, West of the Europe, Persian Gulf, Oman Sea and the Strait of Hormouz," he said at the time.
There is no place in the region where the Americans can hide, he added.
Fadavi had underlined that the IRGC Navy keeps an eye on all enemy movements at sea.
“Having realized the Islamic Republic of Iran’s deterrent power, the United States officially altered its maritime strategy,” the senior commander said, highlighting the IRCG Navy’s vessels, missiles, air force, commando and drone capabilities.
Iran is now the main power providing security in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring the safe passage of energy supplies through the strategic region.
