Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reportedly responded to President Trump's comments, stating that it will under no circumstances allow the United States to interfere in the management of the Strait of Hormuz. The statement was circulated via the source and has not been independently verified.
According to a report circulating this evening (17:11 Jerusalem), the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) responded to President Trump's comments by explicitly vowing to prevent any US interference in the management of the Strait of Hormuz. The statement marks the latest in a series of IRGC threats and warnings issued throughout Monday.
Earlier today, the IRGC escalated its rhetoric against US involvement in the region. At 07:07 Jerusalem, the IRGC threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz as part of what it called 'third-phase strikes' following US military action, as The Zioneer reported. At 08:56 Jerusalem, the IRGC claimed to have struck a US base in Bahrain and warned against interference in the Strait. Then at 16:08 Jerusalem, the IRGC's spokesperson issued a series of statements: first, the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters warned that any US involvement constituted a 'declaration of war'; second, the spokesperson accused the US of endangering global energy security; and third, he threatened to force foreign entities to submit to Iranian will. These statements were reported by N12 journalist Sapir Lipkin.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the broader context of IRGC threats, including warnings to Gulf states against hosting US bases and declarations of readiness for expected US strikes. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, and any disruption would have significant economic and security implications.
The latest report—the IRGC's explicit response to Trump—comes from a single source and has not been independently verified. The Zioneer is monitoring developments.
