Iran’s IRGC Vows Retaliation Against U.S. Military Aggression in Strait of Hormuz

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Iran‘s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has released a statement denouncing the actions of the U.S. military in the Strait of Hormuz and asserting a violation of agreements.

The statement declared unequivocally that under no circumstances will interference in the affairs and management of the Strait of Hormuz be permitted. It referenced the unprecedented public turnout for the funeral procession of the martyred leader of the Islamic Ummah as a significant setback for global arrogance and “criminal America.”

The statement further alleged that the U.S. military, disregarding its commitments and while the body of the martyred leader of the world’s Muslims and free thinkers was being hosted by officials and the brave people of Iraq, launched an overt aggression targeting certain areas of southern Iran. The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will deliver a crushing response to the U.S. aggression and terrorist act, and under no circumstances will they permit foreign intervention in the affairs and management of the Strait of Hormuz.

The statement reiterated that the only safe passage for commercial and oil tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is the route designated by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
