Iran expressed anger over the US Central Command’s announcement that they will blockade the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC has said that imposing restrictions on the movement of ships in international waters is equal to ‘sea piracy’.And warned if they cause any threat to its security would imperil maritime security in the entire Persian Gulf region. If America blockades their ports, they will close the Gulf ports. IRGC said that if there is security, everyone should have it. If not, nobody should have it.
IRGC said they will monitor security in Hormuz waters. Revealed no port in the region would be safe if their ports were threatened. It has made it clear that ships of enemy countries will not be allowed to pass through the strait. Only ships authorized by Iran will be allowed to enter Hormuz. Arrangements are being made to maintain control over Hormuz.
