The Deputy Commander for Political Affairs of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy stated that safe passage through the U.S. shipping lanes south of the Strait of Hormuz is virtually impossible. Any vessel entering this corridor will no longer be safe and will face potential threats once it reaches the "Hazb Oman" region. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy continuously monitors the movements of all vessels in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Gulf of Oman using its comprehensive intelligence and operational capabilities. All vessels wishing to pass safely through the Strait of Hormuz must use the designated shipping lanes demarcated by Iran.
