Rear Admiral Tangsiri also said that the Persian Gulf belongs to all regional countries, vowing that his forces will spare no efforts to protect the territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

"The Persian Gulf islands are a sparkling jewel that will shine forever on the water and soil of our Islamic homeland," he said.
