Mohsen Rezaei accused the United States of damaging bridges leading to Hormozgan province to enable a ground attack against Iran. He claimed that an 'undeveloped plan' by US army commanders caused the ground and air offensive to be stopped, according to a statement.
Mohsen Rezaei issued a statement early Tuesday accusing the United States of damaging bridges in Hormozgan province to facilitate a ground invasion of Iran. He claimed that the US offensive was halted because American commanders had an 'undeveloped plan.'
The Zioneer has previously reported on US airstrikes targeting bridges in Iran, including in Hormozgan province, as part of a broader campaign near the Strait of Hormuz. Rezaei's statement offers an Iranian perspective on the purpose and outcome of those strikes, though his claims of a planned ground attack have not been independently verified.
The statement is the latest in a series of accusations from Rezaei regarding US operations in the strategic waterway. In late June, he accused the US of violating a bilateral memorandum of understanding by maintaining tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
