Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy targeted as many as five vessels a day in the Strait of Hormuz over a 10-day period, according to a senior IRGC official quoted by the IRGC-affiliated Fars news agency.

Ali Mohammadi, the IRGC Navy’s deputy for political affairs, said the force targeted between two and five vessels daily. He described the vessels as ships that had allegedly violated the IRGC’s rules.

Mohammadi said the navy continued acting against ships it considered to be in breach even after the 10-day period ended. His remarks did not identify the vessels or specify the alleged violations.

He also said US attacks had caused “the slightest disruption” to the IRGC Navy’s surveillance capabilities or its ability to maintain control over the area.
