Strait of Hormuz Is Completely Closed: The Enemy Dares Not Enter

TEHRAN (Defapress) - Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi, Deputy of Public Relations and Spokesperson for the IRGC, in an interview with the Defapress correspondent, addressed the US President’s claim that the United States controls the Strait of Hormuz. He stated: "The fact that several oil tankers have been involved in incidents in recent days disproves the US President’s assertion."

Brigadier General Mohebbi added: "One must ask the US President: how can you claim to have control over the Strait of Hormuz when incidents involving vessels occur there daily?"

Regarding another claim by both the US President and Brad Cooper, the commander of CENTCOM, about clearing naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, he remarked: "No naval mines have been cleared in the Strait of Hormuz; this claim is an absolute lie."

In conclusion, the Spokesperson for the IRGC noted: "No one would dare to enter the Strait of Hormuz to carry out mine-clearing operations."
