This assertion comes with the notable development that even United States aircraft carriers are now required to adhere to Iran's maritime regulations while navigating through this strategically vital waterway.

Addressing a gathering of esteemed IRGC commanders and officials in Tehran, Tangsiri underscored a remarkable shift in compliance among maritime nations. He highlighted that, unlike the past when NATO member states disregarded Iran's maritime rules, they now pay heed to the warnings issued by the IRGC Navy.

Tangsiri took the opportunity to highlight the advancements made by the IRGC Navy's specialists. These advancements have led to notable improvements in vessel speed, in line with the directives of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces. The admiral elaborated on the deployment of fast attack craft boasting speeds ranging from 90 to 110 knots.

The capabilities of the IRGC Navy were further emphasized by Tangsiri, encompassing a diverse array of combat, surveillance, reconnaissance, and hybrid unmanned aerial vehicles. Additionally, the inventory includes ground-based anti-ship missiles. A significant achievement highlighted by Tangsiri is the successful integration of rocket launchers onto 8-meter-long fast attack craft. Notably, Iran has also achieved a pioneering feat in Western Asia by designing a vessel with a built-in airstrip tailored for drone takeoff and landing, showcasing the nation's innovation in this field.

As Iran solidifies its naval control over the Persian Gulf and secures compliance with its maritime regulations, the region's dynamics are likely to experience substantial shifts in the geopolitical landscape. (ILKHA)
