Relations between Iran and the United States have been hitting new lows, with drones and tankers being at the centre of the conflict in the past two months, APA reports citing Sputniknews.
Iran's navy chief has said that Iran observes all US vessels operating in the Persian Gulf region, and has an archive of images of their daily movements.
"We observe all enemy ships, particularly America, point-by-point from their origin until the moment they enter the region," Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi, commander of Iran's navy, said on Tuesday as quoted by the Young Journalists Club local news agency.
"We have complete images and a large archive of the daily and moment-by-moment traffic of the coalition forces and America," he added, explaining that the images were captured by Iranian drones.
His comments come after the seizure of a British-flagged tanker which Iran claims had violated maritime rules.
Britain has accused Tehran of capturing the tanker in international waters, and announced a European task force to protect ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for oil trade.
Iran and the United States came to the brink of war last month after the Islamic Republic shot down a U.S. drone, nearly prompting a retaliatory attack which U.S. President Donald Trump called off at the last minute.
