Tangsiri explained in statements that the maneuvers conducted in the Gulf, the Nazhat Islands, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Sea of Oman achieved their full objectives. During these exercises, a part of the naval force’s capabilities was demonstrated, including defensive missile systems and surface-to-surface missiles, in addition to a new “high-precision” ballistic missile whose name he refused to disclose. He added that all the weapons used were domestically produced, noting that Iranian forces have previously managed to approach American carriers and ships and mark them “without being noticed,” as he claims. He affirmed that Iranian drones are constantly monitoring the movement of an American aircraft carrier in the region and that “control and surveillance in the Gulf are complete,” according to Iranian Tasnim News. Tangsiri stressed that American forces “do not approach Iranian waters” and that any transgression will be met with repeated incidents of arresting American or British soldiers as happened previously. He added that his forces are ready for any potential naval confrontation. He concluded by saying that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard “does not spare enemies,” confirming that any aggression against Iran or its interests “will be met with a harsh response.”
