The commander of the IRGC Navy went on to say that the presence of IRGC naval forces in the Gulf has contributed to long-term stability and the preservation of maritime security in the region, assuring the region's countries that the naval forces under his command, with their facilities and capabilities, can ensure the region's security in collaboration with them.

Furthermore, the IRGC Navy commander affirmed that "No foreign country should be present in this region under the guise of establishing security, because the presence of foreigners has resulted in the violations of the maritime rights and marine life wherever they have been, and they have done nothing but creating division and sedition, plundering nations' properties."

He then elaborated on the specs of the Soleimany warship stating that "This vessel is 67 by 18 meters on which the helicopter can board on its deck and it is a helicopter carrier. It can carry multiple rocket launchers and torpedoes in different operational classes."
