[Regnum] Iranian military launchers have targeted US warships approaching the Strait of Hormuz and are prepared to sink them. This was stated on April 16 by Mohsen Rezaei, military adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader and former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
| That would definitely be an interesting exchange. |
"The pressure must be increased. Our missile launchers are now aimed at warships, and we will sink them all," Press.TV quoted him as saying.
Rezaei emphasized that the US attempt to impose a naval blockade on Iran would be futile. He added that the Iranian Armed Forces still have "significant untapped leverage" to counter the US military.
Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz in response to attacks by the US and Israel. On April 12, US President Donald Trump announced that the American Navy had begun blockading the strait, stopping all vessels and detaining those that had paid Iranian authorities for passage.
On April 14, a Chinese tanker carrying methanol passed through the Strait of Hormuz. The vessel bypassed the blockade despite being under US sanctions since 2023. Soon after, an Iranian supertanker, designed to carry 2 million barrels of oil, passed through the strait.
