🇮🇷❌🇺🇸🇮🇱 — The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy announces the indefinite closure of the Straits of Hormuz until the "American-interference" in the Persian Gulf region ends
A Violating Ship Was Fired Upon with a Warning Shot
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy:
In the name of God, the Exalter of Warriors.
In a previous statement, we had said that foreign interference and the illegal routing of ships in the Strait of Hormuz would result in a decisive response and disrupt the increasing flow of traffic in the strait.
Hours ago, these warnings were ignored, and several ships, incited by foreigners, attempted to deviate from the approved route and disregarded our warnings to correct their course and navigate within the designated channel.
Consequently, one ship, which had turned off its systems and endangered maritime security, was fired upon with a warning shot and brought to a halt.
Following this incident, firstly, due to the insecurity caused by the illegal interference of foreigners, the Strait of Hormuz will be closed until further notice and until the end of the United States' intervention in this region, and no vessel will be allowed to transit. Secondly, if the aggressor enemy, under the pretext of this incident which they themselves caused, makes a mistake and commits a new act of aggression against us, it will be met with a strong response, and new enemy bases in the region will be targeted.
The consequences of such interference will be borne by the American-Zionist enemy and the countries that have provided their territory for these threats and allowed enemy bases to operate within their borders.
