Iran Navy Says It Is Waiting To Sink US Warships That Approach The Strait Of Hormuz
Rear Admiral Ali Azmaei said Iran is ready to target U.S. warships as attacks on vessels near the waterway have intensified, Reuters reported.
- On Wednesday, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps chief Ali Ozmaei said Tehran is "impatient to sink American warships," stating, "We are waiting for U.S. warships to approach the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz so we can sink them."
- Iran announced on Friday it would pursue unauthorized vessels "throughout the entire region," with Tehran claiming the IRGC Navy controls the Strait of Hormuz while imposing strict transit conditions on commercial shipping.
- Sunday's drone strike on the Nicaragua-flagged Petro Dolphin highlights increased vessel attacks, while Tehran has begun using unarmed spotters in small boats to identify potential targets in the waterway.
- Rear Admiral Ali Azmaei claimed U.S. Navy vessels remain 700 kilometres away from the Strait due to "inherent vulnerabilities," asserting Iran is better prepared to face adversaries than during February conflicts.
- Mohsen Rezaei, Iran's top national security official, publicly threatened the United Arab Emirates as Iranian officials weighed options to expand conflict, including sending ground troops to countries in the region.
