Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in South Khorasan: 'Muslim fighters are fully prepared and stationed in the southern regions and islands of the Persian Gulf, exercising the authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran over the vital waterway of the Strait of Hormuz. In response to the enemy's attempts to create a naval blockade, reciprocal and appropriate measures were taken, including missile attacks by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Aerospace Force against enemy warships, which were acknowledged by them. As we approach 200 days of continuous public presence, this united resistance and national unity have thwarted all enemy movements and the efforts of those who have betrayed their country to disrupt the country's social order.' - Iranian reports
