Military spokesman: US should have more control on its warships in Persian Gulf

According to the Armed Forces Headquarters Media Department, General Jazayeri said the news disseminated by the US sources concerning unprofessional behavior of Iranian vessels is not true.

He said the news is either based upon false reports or has 'other intentions'.

He added, 'We underline that the Americans are guilty for any kind of unrest in the Persian Gulf, so we warn again that the US armed forces should change their behavior.'

According to the report of Sepah News, Commander of Navay’s Zolfaqar Flotilla First Zone Admiral Mehdi Hashemi had reacted to an unprofessional act of a US warship in the Persian Gulf.

Responding to the incorrect news by an American official concerning USNS Invincible Warship, the IRGC Navy Commander said that on March 5, 2017 at 10:20 to 11:00 hours local time, a warship from American fleet passing Hormuz Straight zone, in an unprofessional move, exited from international route and changed its way toward IRGC Navy vessels present in the region and got as close as 550 meters to Iranian vessels with giving warnings.
