WANA (Apr 12) – In a new statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy warned that any attempt by military vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz will face a firm and decisive response.

 

According to the statement, the IRGC Navy maintains full and “smart control” over the strategic waterway and closely monitors all movements in the area. It added that passage is permitted only for non-military vessels and strictly under specific regulations.

 

The IRGC also dismissed reports claiming that U.S. naval vessels had passed through the strait, calling such reports false. The statement stressed:

 

“Any attempt by military vessels to cross the Strait of Hormuz will be met with a strong and decisive response.”
