Rogue Attack on Iran Prompting Fierce Response
The newspaper "Al-Akhbar" quoted a field commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy, providing details about the Iranian forces' preparations following the decision to close the Strait of Hormuz. The commander confirmed that Iran had been ready for this option for years and had conducted drills and simulations to prepare for its implementation. He also explained that the forces have informed all ships through Communication Channel 16, warning against targeting any vessel attempting to pass after the closure decision, and that missile launches resulted in shocks to several ships. The commander clarified that Iran rejected attempts by some Gulf states to allow ships to pass and approved the continued export of vegetables to the UAE despite ongoing clashes. He noted that Iranian forces have not engaged in direct clashes with Americans and that the possibility of war recurring remains, especially with increasing attacks on Iranian facilities. He emphasized that his country's forces are permanently prepared, with defense and offensive plans for the islands being part of their strategy for over 30 years. Iran's response in the event of an attempt to seize the islands would be unexpected and could threaten all targets. Additionally, he pointed out that the Iranian forces and people are capable of closing the strait themselves if the country is forced to do so, relying not only on radar systems but also on continuous patrols to counter threats. The commander predicted that U.S. plans to seize the islands or open the strait by force are unlikely to succeed, affirming that any land attack on the islands would lead to catastrophic outcomes for the potential victor. Reclaiming these islands has been a core part of Iran's plans for years. Iran's defense strategy depends on the unity of the armed forces and volunteers, as well as high morale among the population. Despite the capabilities of U.S. reconnaissance, Iran believes its response would be decisive in case of any aggression.
