Iran says that Hormuz is a ‘red line,’ it will not allow US to interfere
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a warning Thursday, saying it will not “allow” the U.S. to destabilize the region.
“We once again stress that under no circumstances and in no way will we allow the United States, as a foreign and extra-regional country, to interfere in the Strait of Hormuz. This is Iran’s inviolable red line,” IRGC spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfqari said Thursday.
The IRGC warned that if the U.S. carries out its threat to target Iranian infrastructure, Iran would respond with “strikes that will be more severe, more extensive and more devastating than ever before.”
