TL;DR

Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, warned that the US military cannot reach Kharg Island, saying 'if you come, you will not return alive,' according to the Iranian state-aligned channel.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Ebrahim Rezaei, the spokesperson for Iran's parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, made the statement in a post on an Iranian state-aligned channel on Tuesday evening. He claimed to have personally visited Kharg Island and its supporting forces. The Kharg Island terminal handles about 90% of Iran's crude oil exports, making it a strategically sensitive asset, particularly amid heightened US-Iranian tensions. This latest warning follows a series of bellicose statements by Rezaei over the past week, including threats of 'harsher punishment' against Israel and declarations of military readiness. As The Zioneer has reported, Rezaei has warned that Iran is at its highest level of readiness and has urged the US to accept Iran's terms. The warning comes as the US maintains a military posture in the region, including naval assets in the Persian Gulf.
