The situation in the Middle East escalates dangerously, as Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a new, particularly threatening statement, directly warning that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed and announcing that any country providing assistance will face severe consequences.
"The Strait of Hormuz is our territory and the brave men of the IRGC Navy maintain firm control over it. No stranger coming from thousands of kilometers away will be allowed to interfere. With the help of God, the aggressor will be punished today," the militia stated in an announcement published by Tasnim.
The Revolutionary Guards added that Hormuz will remain closed as long as US threats and interference in regional maritime traffic continue. "Threats and interventions will only make things more complicated," the IRGC warn.
