Mohsen Rezaei, a senior military advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader and former IRGC commander, said Thursday evening that Iran will not permit a second shipping route in the Strait of Hormuz. He warned that continued US military build-up will expose American vessels and forces to 'significant dangers and casualties.'
Mohsen Rezaei, the senior military advisor to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, issued the warning on Thursday evening, according to a statement reported by reports. Rezaei directly rejected the prospect of a second maritime corridor in the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy chokepoint where tensions have escalated in recent months.
As The Zioneer has reported, Rezaei has made similar threats in recent weeks, including accusations that the US is violating a bilateral memorandum and warnings of a 'swift and decisive' response to continued American naval presence. The Strait remains a flashpoint amid competing claims of control between Tehran and Washington.
