The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States halts what it called 'evil acts,' according to a report by N12. The statement, attributed to IRGC sources, was published Wednesday morning and has not been independently verified.
The IRGC has previously issued statements on the Strait of Hormuz. As The Zioneer reported on June 21, the IRGC declared the strait closed to Israel-linked vessels. On July 12, the IRGC announced a temporary closure citing 'foreign intervention.' The current statement appears to be a continuation of that rhetoric, but no direct link to specific events has been confirmed.
