Tehran, April 13 : The Navy of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said that any "erroneous" move by the "enemy" in the Strait of Hormuz will have deadly consequences.

It issued the warning in a post on social media platform X, sharing "drone surveillance footage of the real situation in the Strait of Hormuz."

The IRGC's Navy said all movements and non-movements in the Strait of Hormuz are under complete control of the Iranian armed forces, adding that, "Any erroneous maneuver will trap the enemy in deadly whirlpools in the strait."

US Central Command (CENTCOM) said Saturday that two US warships transited the Strait of Hormuz and began mine-clearing operations in the Gulf. Iran's main military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, rejected that account, "strongly" denying CENTCOM's claim that American vessels had entered the strait, Xinhua news agency reported.

In an exclusive report on Sunday, Iran's state-run Press TV said the US military's attempt to sail two destroyers through the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday "ended as a failed propaganda stunt timed to coincide with (Tehran-Washington) talks in Islamabad."

The Press TV identified the US destroyers as USS Michael Murphy and USS Frank E. Peterson, saying they were forced to retreat by Iran's naval forces.

Also on Sunday, the IRGC said in a statement that any military vessels that intend to approach the Strait of Hormuz under any title or pretext will be considered a ceasefire violation and will be dealt with severely.

On February 28, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities, killing Iran's then Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with senior military commanders and civilians. Iran responded with waves of missile and drone strikes targeting Israel and US assets in the Middle East, and tightened control over the Strait of Hormuz by restricting passage by vessels belonging to or affiliated with Israel and the United States.

A two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States took effect on Wednesday, followed by the holding of lengthy talks between the Iranian and US delegations in Islamabad, which failed to lead to an agreement.
