Iran has round-the-clock surveillance over Strait of Hormuz
The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy said the force maintains round-the-clock surveillance over the Strait of Hormuz across surface, aerial, and subsurface domains.
Alireza Tangsiri, commander of the naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said Iran maintains full 24-hour surveillance over the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking during ongoing military drills titled “Defensive Strength and Offensive Operations from the Persian Gulf Islands,” Tangsiri said the exercises are being conducted in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz as part of the IRGC Navy’s annual training program.
He stated that Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz serve as “impregnable fortresses,” adding that responsibility for defending the islands and securing the strategic waterway lies with the IRGC Navy.
