US Central Command (CENTCOM) has warned that it “will not tolerate unsafe” actions by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as Iran announced it would conduct live-fire naval exercises next week in the Strait of Hormuz. Noting that “CENTCOM will ensure the safety of US personnel, ships, and aircraft operating in the Middle East,” it stressed that the US “will not tolerate unsafe IRGC actions including overflight of US military vessels engaged in flight operations, low-altitude or armed overflight of US military assets when intentions are unclear, highspeed boat approaches on a collision course with US military vessels, or weapons trained at US forces.”
