IRGC Navy: Any attack on Iranian vessels will trigger heavy response against US bases

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has warned the United States and its allies, saying that any attack on Iranian tankers or commercial vessels in the Persian Gulf or beyond will trigger a heavy and decisive response targeting American military centers in the region and enemy ships.

In a statement on Saturday evening, the IRGC Navy Command stressed Iran’s commitment to safeguarding its maritime interests and the safe passage of its legitimate commercial fleet amid escalating provocations by foreign forces in the strategic waters of the Strait of Hormuz.

“Warning! Any attack on Iranian tankers and commercial vessels will result in a heavy attack against one of the American centers in the region and enemy ships,” the IRGC Navy Command stated, underscoring that the Islamic Republic will not tolerate threats to its vessels or disruption of its vital oil exports and trade routes.

IRGC naval forces have demonstrated their resolve in recent days, repelling aggressive maneuvers by US destroyers that attempted to challenge Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Following US strikes on Iranian ships and tankers near Jask, the IRGC Navy launched a precise and extensive operation involving anti-ship ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and high-explosive drones, inflicting significant damage on enemy assets and forcing the US vessels to flee the area.

Iranian military sources have repeatedly highlighted that provocative US actions represent a dangerous disruption of regional maritime security.

The IRGC Navy has emphasized that the only safe corridors for transit through the Strait of Hormuz are those designated by the Islamic Republic, with any deviation or hostile move met by a firm and decisive confrontation.

Iranian naval and missile forces have delivered a swift and precise response to yet another act of US aggression in the Strait of Hormuz, forcing enemy units to flee after sustaining damage, according to reports.

The IRGC Navy exercises full, intelligent control over the vital waterway, ensuring the security of Iranian vessels while warning foreign forces against further provocations that could endanger international navigation.

The IRGC’s capabilities in asymmetric warfare, including advanced missile systems and rapid-response naval units, have repeatedly proven effective in deterring foreign interference in the Persian Gulf.
