IRGC Commnader: Naval Forces are Fully Ready to Block any Attempt into Territorial WatersAddressing the inauguration ceremony of Imam Ali (PBUH) Naval Base held in Southern city of Chabahar, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri said the Iranian navy forces are fullt prepared to block any attempt to enter territorial waters.

“We preserve our unity, solidarity, and strength,” he noted while saying that enemies are looking for sowing seeds of penetration in the country’s soil and Iranian forces will leave no single point for this goal.

He went on to say that “Iran is the country of all Iranians and we need to defend this country and confront those who intend to disturb our country’s security.”

Previously in his remarks in a local ceremony held in Southwestern city of Abadan, General Tangsiri has warned enemies that the Iranian naval forces will act against any entry into the Iranian waters.

At that time while referring to the recent encounter between Iranian and US forces in Iran’s Southern waters, the Iranian commander said that “The Naval forces are fully prepared and have vowed not to allow enemies to enter or violate Iran's territorial waters.” 

In a relevant remark last month, Head of Iranian Passive Defense Organization Brigadier General Gholamreza Jalali praised the recent bravery of IRGC navy forces and said that they showed the decline on the US to the world.

Prior to that, it has been announced that a successful operation near the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait has been conucted by Iranian naval forces on Monday morning, to thwart a pirate attack on one of the country’s oil tankers.

Pirates en route to the Gulf of Aden were targeted by the escort team of the Iranian Army's Navy before entering the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. Four suspect boats carrying 4 to 6 armed pirates intended to attack and approach the tanker, but the escort team forced them to flee the scene.
