TEHRAN: Iran’s military command announced Thursday that it will strike any ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz after striking two vessels attempting to sail through the crucial waterway as peace talks stalled. The US began a new wave of attacks against Iran on Wednesday, with President Donald Trump promising to “hit them hard” after accusing Tehran’s negotiators of “playing us for suckers.
According to Tasnim, the Khatam Al-Anbiya command stated on Thursday that “any vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz will be targeted,” and that the strait is now “completely closed to all types of vessel. According to official television IRIB and Mehr, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards navy said that “two ships attempting to illegally pass through the Strait of Hormuz were hit.
Following repeated violations of the ceasefire by the American enemy, the Strait of Hormuz will be closed until further notice,” it announced. We warn that no vessel should leave its anchorage in the Arabian Gulf or the Sea of Oman.” Approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be regarded as assistance with the enemy.” Iranian television reported explosions in the country’s south near the Strait of Hormuz, the same location where US Marines bombed air defense, radar, and other targets on Tuesday.
