Iran's Navy launched the massive 10-day Velayat 90 naval exercise on December 24.
A senior Iranian commander says Iran's Navy exercises complete control over the Persian Gulf and is constantly monitoring the activities of trans-regional forces.
“The naval and air forces of Iran's Navy tracked a trans-regional aircraft carrier that left the Persian Gulf area and entered the Sea of Oman,” Iran's Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said on Thursday.
Earlier on Thursday, the Iranian Navy identified and recorded footage and images of a US aircraft carrier in the area where Iran is currently holding its navy military exercises.
Sayyari added that the identification of the US aircraft carrier proves Iran's ability to control the region and monitor every movement.
On Monday, Iran's Navy also repelled a foreign helicopter that had approached the site of the country's naval drills. The aircraft was forced to leave the region following the stern warning of the Iranian forces.
Iran's Navy launched the 10-day Velayat 90 naval exercise on December 24, covering an area stretching from the east of the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Aden.
Over the past years, Iran has made important breakthroughs in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing important military equipment and systems.
The country has repeatedly clarified that its military might is merely based on the nation's defense doctrine of deterrence and poses no threat to other countries.
'Iran war very dangerous scenario'

Russia has denounced US and Israeli threats of launching a military action against Iran as “a very dangerous scenario” which could result in a “regional catastrophe.”
Russia will not “accept the proposition that the best way to prevent a war is to start a war,” Russian Ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin said in an interview with Russia Today on Thursday.
“Our consistent stand, our effort, is going to be targeted at doing whatever we can in order to prevent this scenario of regional catastrophe being carried out in 2012,” he added.
“We do believe that a peaceful solution is possible,” Churkin said, further adding the West should instead direct its efforts towards engaging in negotiations with Tehran to avoid any serious consequences.
Washington and the Tel Aviv regime have repeatedly threatened Tehran with military strikes on the false pretext that Iran's nuclear program may have a covert military diversion.
Tehran has categorically refuted allegations by US-led Western powers, saying that as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, it has the right to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
Iranian officials have vowed to deliver a crushing response to any military strike against the country, warning that any such measure could result in a war that would certainly reach far beyond the Middle East.

Iranian Navy's hovercraft took part in Velayat 90 naval drills
A senior Iranian lawmaker says Velayat 90 naval drills demonstrate the might and capability of Iran's Navy in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
One of the messages of the Velayat 90 naval drill is that the Persian Gulf's security must be provided by the littoral states without any interference from foreign forces, Chairman of Iran Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Thursday.
Boroujerdi added that peace and security were other messages that Iran tries to convey to regional countries through the naval drills.
“[All] war games launched in the region by Iran's armed forces, including the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps and the Army, have aimed to send simultaneous messages of peace and security to regional countries,” he said.
Boroujerdi added that maintaining stability and establishing security in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman has been the unchanging policy of Iran's armed forces.
On Saturday, December 24, Iran's Navy launched the 10-day Velayat 90 naval exercise, covering an area stretching from the east of the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Aden.
