The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is conditional on the end of American aggression, and warned that U.S. intervention in the strait is a red line. The IRGC also threatened to strike infrastructure in the region if President Trump threatens Iranian infrastructure, according to the statement.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a new statement on Thursday morning, linking the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to an end to what it called 'American aggression.' The IRGC warned that U.S. intervention in the strategic waterway is a red line and threatened to strike infrastructure in the region if President Trump targets Iranian infrastructure. The statement continues a pattern of escalating IRGC rhetoric regarding the Strait of Hormuz and U.S. military presence in the Gulf, as The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks. The threats remain unverified by independent sources, and no specific timing or targets were detailed.
