IRGC official says foreign warships have retreated from Gulf
An Iranian commander says the Revolutionary Guard’s military capabilities have forced foreign naval forces to keep their distance from Iran, according to state news agency IRNA.
Brigadier-General Yadollah Javani, deputy commander of the IRGC’s political bureau, attributed the shift in the Gulf and Sea of Oman to the force’s missiles, drones and naval strength.
“Previously, dozens of foreign warships and vessels roamed the Gulf,” he said. “Today, the enemy’s fleet has moved more than 1,000km away from our territorial waters and does not dare approach.”
Javani said “collective security of Islamic countries and the complete withdrawal of the aggressors” would determine the region’s future.
