Iran’s Judiciary Chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i says the speedboats and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) are waiting for intruding US vessels to fully destroy them.

“The IRGC’s swarm fleet, with its fast boats and UUVs, is waiting from inside the sea caves of [Iranian southern] Farur Island for intruding American warships to overwhelm their defenses and inflict severe consequences on the aggressors,” Mohseni-Eje’i said on Thursday.

He added that the Americans do not even dare approach the Strait of Hormuz as they witnessed what happened to their supposedly ultra-advanced destroyers – the USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) and the USS Frank E. Peterson (DDG 121).

The Judiciary chief emphasized that three intruding vessels in the strategic Strait of Hormuz had been subjected to legal action.

Press TV learned on Friday that the IRGC Navy locked more than a dozen cruise missiles onto aggressive US warships moments before they hastily retreated.

According to Press TV's findings, after the American warships – the USS Michael Murphy and the USS Frank E. Peterson – failed to heed initial warnings from Iranian naval forces, the IRGC Navy locked 16 cruise missiles onto the vessels.

The enemy was then warned that if they did not withdraw from the Strait of Hormuz within minutes, the missiles would be fired.

With American forces reportedly certain that an attack was imminent, they requested a 15-minute delay from the IRGC naval forces.

According to the new information obtained by Press TV, US military personnel sought to use that time to communicate the dire situation back to their command and receive further orders.
