The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has issued a new statement regarding the Strait of Hormuz, delivering harsh messages concerning the US stance in the region.
According to Iranian state television, the written statement asserted that the Strait of Hormuz is under Iranian control. It stated that the strait will not be reopened as long as US "threats and interventions in regional maritime traffic" continue.
The Revolutionary Guard also warned that the current situation could become even more difficult. The statement included a threat that countries supporting the US would "face a harsh response" if they do not change their positions.
The Strait of Hormuz is known as one of the critical maritime transit points connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman. Any tension in the region is closely monitored in terms of maritime traffic and energy shipments.
