Iranian Armed Forces control the battlefield in the Strait of Hormuz, which will continue for as long as the Islamic Republic desires, says Major General Mostafa Izadi, Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), IRNA reports.

In a gathering of people in the central city of Khomain on Tuesday, Major General Izadi stressed the IRGC Navy and Aerospace Forces’ operational and intelligence superiority over the strategic area.

Noting that the enemies seek to push the people away from the scene, he said the people’s presence and support for the country are key to safeguarding achievements and thwarting the enemies’ plots.
