Ali Mohammadi, political deputy of the IRGC Navy, made the remarks at a ceremony commemorating martyrs in the northern Iranian city of Babol, Mazandaran Province, highlighting the force’s indigenous capabilities and readiness in regional waters.
He said the IRGC Navy’s power has been built on a combination of faith, experience, and strategic planning. According to Mohammadi, Iranian forces have gained extensive experience through years of operations and training along the country’s coasts, islands, and maritime areas.
Mohammadi also referred to US efforts to weaken the Iranian people’s resolve, saying Washington should not assume that destroying infrastructure such as bridges or roads could force Iran to surrender.
He pointed to the IRGC Navy’s continued presence in difficult conditions, including on Farsi Island, describing the small strategic island as an example of Iran’s sustained maritime presence.
The official said Iranian forces have trained for both conventional and unconventional warfare for years and are prepared for a direct confrontation at sea.
Referring to remarks by US President Donald Trump about unfinished work regarding Iran, Mohammadi issued a strong warning, saying Iran also has unfinished business with him.
