IRGC: Iran to ‘Control Entire Strait in Wartime’
Amid ongoing cross-Gulf attacks today between Iranian and US forces, the IRGC says they targeted enemy weapons and parts storages in Bahrain and Kuwait. This after the US appeared to attack some critical Iranian infrastructure on coastal islands.
The IRGC has issued a fresh statement via state media on Tuesday, saying that “as long as the US evil stays in the region, not a drop of oil and gas will be exported from the region.” It said further, per the press release:
- US aggression will have no result other than delaying the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
- Targeted drone ramp in Kuwait’s Ali Al Salem air base; today’s attacks in response to US attacks on Iran.
ABC is meanwhile reporting during the mid-afternoon (US time) that American airstrikes on Iran have been underway for the last couple of course. And yet still, Iran’s IRIB has said that the Islamic Republic “must control the entire Hormuz Strait in wartime”.
The region is being plunged back into full-fledged war, also as fighting between the Saudis and Houthis in Yemen appears to be breaking out.
