TEHRAN -- The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) on Saturday confirmed that its forces have been monitoring the moves of the commanders of the U.S., British and French navies transiting the Strait of Hormuz aboard the USS Paul Hamilton.
Commander of the IRGC Navy’s First Zone Brigadier General Abbas Gholamshahi said drones and vessels had been engaged in a precision mission in that regard. Gholamshahi said the IRGC Navy monitors the movement of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf “round-the-clock.”
