Iran to completely close Hormuz if Trump executes threats on Iranian energy, IRGC say
Iran's Revolutionary Guards also said companies with US shares will be "completely destroyed", if Iranian energy facilities were targeted by Washington and energy facilities in countries that host US bases will be "lawful" targets.
Iran will completely shut the strategic Strait of Hormuz if US President Trump executes threats to target Iranian energy facilities, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement today (22 March).
Trump on Saturday (21 March) threatened to "obliterate" Iran's power plants if Tehran did not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48-hours, suggesting a significant escalation barely a day after he talked about "winding down" the war, now in its fourth week.
In their statement today, Iran's Revolutionary Guards also said companies with US shares will be "completely destroyed", if Iranian energy facilities were targeted by Washington and energy facilities in countries that host US bases will be "lawful" targets.
