SAEDNEWS: Iran’s IRGC says its Hormuz surveillance extends beyond U.S.-known radar systems, while precise strikes on ship engine rooms demonstrate its intelligence superiority.
According to Saednews, Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi has dismissed U.S. claims that Iranian radars were successfully targeted and that commercial tankers could therefore safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz, describing such statements as largely media-driven.
Speaking to Mehr News Agency, Mohebbi said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) does not rely solely on radar systems known to its adversaries. He emphasized that Iran uses a combination of satellite-based surveillance and other monitoring technologies that may remain undetected by the United States.
Mohebbi questioned how Iran could accurately strike sensitive parts of vessels if it lacked effective maritime surveillance capabilities. He argued that missiles hitting specific areas, including engine rooms, and disabling vessels demonstrate Iran's ability to identify and track targets precisely.
The IRGC spokesman also claimed that Iranian forces had damaged or "blinded" parts of the opposing side's radar and surveillance infrastructure. However, he stressed that destroying several known radar installations would not eliminate Iran's broader monitoring capabilities.
According to Mohebbi, Iran's ability to accurately strike targets across the Persian Gulf, including at night, indicates that sophisticated intelligence and operational capabilities remain active.
He added that the exact methods Iran uses to track maritime targets are not fully understood by its adversaries, arguing that the precision and results of recent strikes demonstrate what he described as Iran's intelligence advantage.
