According to Iranian agency "Tasnim," Admiral Abbas Gholamshahi reported, "We closely monitored the American ship Paul Hamilton as it crossed the Strait of Hormuz, which was carrying three senior commanders from the U.S., British, and French navies." He added, "Drones and patrol ships from the Thulfiqar Brigade of the Revolutionary Guard's first naval region observed the vessel, which was under complete surveillance." The commander of the first naval region of the Revolutionary Guard emphasized that any ship entering the Strait of Hormuz is subject to intelligence monitoring by the Revolutionary Guard's navy and is never out of the surveillance circle.
