\nIran\u2019s deterrence and defense power in the sea is the outome of the coordination and synergy between the naval units of the Army and the IRGC, Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri said in a statement in commemoration of the National Navy Day.<\/p>\n
He also said that Iran\u2019s naval power has foiled the schemes and strategies of \u201cthe arrogant powers and adventurists in the strategic Persian Gulf region, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Sea of Oman,\u201d stressing that outsiders have become passive in the face of Iran\u2019s naval capabilities.<\/p>\n
In remarks in June 2016, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei underlined that security of the Persian Gulf region comes within the purview of the regional countries alone, and dismissed the US claim of seeking security in the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Persian Gulf security relates to the countries of the region which have common interests, and not to the US. So, security of the Persian Gulf region should be provided by the countries of this region itself,\u201d the Leader said.<\/p>\n
