The IRGC's Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters confirmed Wednesday that the United States conducted an 'open attack' on several targets in southern Iran, and vowed a 'forceful' response from Iran's security forces. The statement, published at 09:38 Jerusalem time, also reiterated that the Strait of Hormuz's only safe passage is the route designated by Iran, and warned against any interference. The announcement follows an earlier statement from the same headquarters at 09:32 Jerusalem that focused on the Hormuz route, describing the US attack as 'terrorist.' The Zioneer has reported on the escalating US-Iran tensions in the region, including previous US strikes on southern Iran and Iranian threats to shipping. The headquarters' latest statement marks a direct threat of retaliation, though no specific targets or timing were mentioned. The situation remains developing.
