On the 13th local time, the commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, Azmaye, stated, "The expensive U.S. warships have become ineffective; they are 700 kilometers away from the Strait of Hormuz because they dare not approach. Iran is waiting for U.S. warships to come close to the entrance of the Strait of Hormuz, and then we will sink them. We are counting down to the day this will happen."

Azmaye claimed that Iran can establish economic, political, and military security with neighboring countries, and the region does not need the United States. "U.S. forces must withdraw from the region; the U.S. is powerless and has lost face." He emphasized that Iran's equipment is now more advanced and that tactical weaknesses have been transformed into advantages, with Iranian soldiers being better prepared than ever before.
