IRGC naval chief threatens to close key strait, says response to consulate attack coming
[IsraelTimes] The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps navy says it could close the Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime route where much of the world’s oil passes, if deemed necessary."We can close the Hormuz Strait, but are not doing so. However, Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried... if the enemy comes to disrupt us, we will review our policy," Revolutionary Guards Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri tells pro-Hezbollah Lebanese outlet al-Meyadeen. He says if US nuclear vessels enter Iranian waters, the Hormuz Strait "will become unusable for several years." Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate has threatened to close the strait in response to tensions with Israel and the US in the past. The commander also says Israel’s presence in the United Arab Emirates is viewed as a threat by Tehran. "We know that the Zionists were not brought to the UAE for economic purposes, but rather for security and military work. This is a threat to us and should not happen," Tangsiri says. He also says Iran is taking its time, but will eventually respond to an alleged Israeli  ...KABOOM!... on its consulate in Syria’s capital on April 1 that killed seven Revolutionary Guards officers, including two senior commanders. "We do not get hit without striking back, but we are also not hasty in our retaliation," Tangsiri says. Posted by: trailing wife 2024-04-11 |
