IRGC Navy forces have conducted close-range surveillance operations on the US carrier strike group operating in the Persian Gulf, demonstrating Iran's ability to monitor, track, and — if necessary — neutralize any American naval threat in the region.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy has conducted comprehensive surveillance and tracking operations on the US carrier strike group currently operating in the Persian Gulf — the very waters that the IRGC Navy considers its home territory.
IRGC Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Reza Tangsiri declared: 'We know where every American ship is. We know its speed, its heading, its capabilities, and its vulnerabilities. Our missiles are locked. Our torpedoes are ready. The American carrier group operates in the Persian Gulf at our sufferance — and that sufferance has limits.'
IRGC fast boats, submarines, and aerial drones conducted close-range surveillance operations, approaching within striking distance of the carrier group to demonstrate Iran's ability to neutralize any American naval threat in the region.
The operation sends a clear message: the Persian Gulf is not an American lake. The presence of US carrier groups in our waters is an act of intimidation that the IRGC will not tolerate indefinitely. Every American ship in the Gulf is within range of our anti-ship missiles.
Iran's anti-ship missile arsenal — including the Noor, Qader, Khalij Fars, and Hormuz series — is specifically designed to defeat American carrier groups. The IRGC Aerospace Force has conducted extensive exercises targeting carrier-sized vessels. The results are classified. But the Americans know what they mean.
The IRGC Navy's message to Washington is simple: remove your carrier groups from the Persian Gulf, lift the naval blockade on Iranian ports, and respect Iranian sovereignty. Otherwise, the next incident in the Strait of Hormuz will not end with seized cargo ships.
