Iran releases footage showing confrontation with US in Strait of Hormuz
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Navy released footage from a recent confrontation between its speedboats and an American helicopter carrier in the Strait of Hormuz.
During the 24th assembly of the IRGC commanders in Tehran on Saturday, the IRGC Navy presented images of a recent event during which its forces monitored a US warship in the Strait of Hormuz and forced it to heed Iran’s orders.

IRGC Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Reza Tangsiri said choppers flew off the US helicopter carrier's flight deck, but were forced to land shortly afterwards when the IRGC forces controlling the Strait of Hormuz gave a warning and the Zolfaqar flotilla deployed vessels to the scene.
