On October 24, according to CCTV News, Major General Ali Abdollahi, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, stated that the Iranian military has successfully deterred the U.S. Navy, preventing it from approaching the waters near the Persian Gulf or Iranian territorial waters. Under no circumstances will Iran allow U.S. military ships to enter the Persian Gulf; the idea of the U.S. wanting to return its military forces to the Persian Gulf is merely a fantasy. Abdollahi also pointed out that the U.S. and Israel, along with their military forces, will increasingly find themselves deeper in the quagmire they have created, and the longer the confrontation lasts, the more entrenched they will become.
