IRGC General Razai warned that the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz are the most dangerous flashpoint that could lead to a third world war, according to a statement.
IRGC General Razai warned Monday evening that US President Donald Trump's mistakes could ignite a third world war, identifying the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz as the most dangerous flashpoint. The statement, reported by Iranian channels, adds to a series of threats from the IRGC as the direct military confrontation between Iran and the United States continues.
As The Zioneer has reported, the IRGC has repeatedly threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz and has warned US bases in the region are 'no longer safe.' The waterway is a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies, and the current conflict has already disrupted tanker traffic. The general's warning echoes earlier IRGC rhetoric but comes amid a heightened state of alert.
The claim is based on a single source and has not been independently verified. The IRGC has previously issued similar warnings without immediate follow-through.
