Military adviser of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mohsen Rezaei, warned against any US naval blockade efforts targeting Iran, stating the military of the Islamic Republic was ready if directly threatened by US naval assets. “Pressure must increase. Our launchers are now locked on the warships, and we will sink them all,” Rezaei said.

Referring to US efforts to impose a naval blockade on Iran, Rezaei claimed the move would fail. “Just as the US suffered a historic defeat in trying to open the Strait of Hormuz, it is also doomed to fail in the naval blockade. Iran will not leave the Strait of Hormuz until its rights are fully secured,” he said.
