IRGC vows ‘greater humiliation’ for US over Strait of Hormuz mischief
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has warned it will drive the United States into “greater humiliation and desperation” than in the past in response to the aggressor regime’s acts of mischief against Iran.
IRGC spokesman Brigadier General Hossein Mohebi made the remarks in an X post on Monday after the terrorist US military conducted its fourth round of aerial assaults this week on Iran in flagrant violation of a war-termination deal, prompting Iranian armed forces to launch heavy retaliatory strikes against sensitive and strategic American targets across the region.
“Just as we reduced the delusional ambitions of America's ringleaders at the outset of their aggression to the mere reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, in their latest villainy we will drag them into greater humiliation and desperation than ever before,” he said.
In another X post, Mohebi noted that the US must be held accountable for seriously endangering the security of global oil and gas supply by intervening in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical energy chokepoint.
“We continue to assert sovereignty and management over the Strait of Hormuz with full strength and power, and we will compel foreigners and their allies to submit to the will of the Iranian nation,” he added.
Iran has restricted transit through the Strait of Hormuz since the early days of the illegal US-Israeli war of aggression that began on February 28 and came to a halt under a ceasefire in early April amid the Islamic Republic’s brave resistance and successful retaliatory operations.
On June 17, Tehran and Washington signed the Pakistan-brokered Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), whose Article 5 places responsibility for reopening and managing the strait squarely in Iran’s hands.
However, US President Donald Trump has threatened to seize control over the strategic waterway, claiming Washington will “get paid a lot of money” for it.
This is while Tehran has declared the Strait of Hormuz closed “until further notice” and at least until “the end of US interference in the region.”
Iran has repeatedly emphasized that the waterway will never return to its pre-war conditions and that it will be administered by the country in accordance with international law.
