The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy warned that the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its former state, especially for the U.S. and Israel, adding it’s in the final stages of operational preparations for a new order for the Persian Gulf.

In an official statement on the X account on Sunday, the IRGC Navy Command stated that the era of foreign hegemony over this critical international waterway is definitively over.
The command stressed that recent regional developments have established a new reality in which trans-regional powers, led by the U.S., can no longer dictate terms or project unchecked influence in Iran’s immediate maritime environment.
The statement further revealed that the IRGC Navy has reached the final stages of operational preparations for the comprehensive plan previously announced by senior Iranian officials. “This initiative aims to establish a new, indigenous security architecture in the Persian Gulf, based on the principle that the region’s stability and security must be guaranteed by the littoral states themselves, without the provocative and illegitimate presence of outside forces,” it added.
These preparations include enhanced naval deployment, advanced monitoring systems, and coordinated rapid-response capabilities, all designed to safeguard Iran’s territorial waters and ensure the uninterrupted flow of energy through the strait—a responsibility Iran has consistently upheld despite repeated foreign provocations.
Iranian military officials have repeatedly stressed that any endeavour by the U.S. or its allies to challenge this new order or reimpose their militarized dominance will encounter a swift, crushing, decisive and overwhelming response from Iran’s defensive forces.
Iran has intensified its restrictions on the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war against the country.
Iranian authorities have indicated that the world’s vital energy lifeline, through which nearly one-fifth of global oil passed before the war, remains open to everyone except to ships tied to the U.S., Israel and their allies.
The Strait of Hormuz will never return to its previous status, especially for the U.S. and the Zionist regime,” the IRGC Navy stressed, reaffirming Iran’s commitment to defending its sovereignty and the security of the Persian Gulf against any destabilizing interference.
