Major General Abdollahi Warns Foreign Armed Forces Against Approaching Strait of Hormuz

Tehran - BORNA - The full text of the message from Major General Pilot Ali Abdollahi, Commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, is as follows:

"We have repeatedly announced that the security of the Strait of Hormuz is under the authority of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and under all circumstances, any safe passage must take place in coordination with the Armed Forces.

The criminal leaders and the aggressor and terrorist U.S. military, who for some time have turned to piracy and maritime theft in international open waters and have endangered the security of global trade and economy, along with their allies, must have realized that the resilient and brave nation and the ready and powerful Armed Forces of Islamic Iran have proven in practice that they respond to any threat or aggression by the enemy at any level and in any region of Iran very harshly and regretfully.

We maintain and powerfully manage the security of the Strait of Hormuz with all our might and notify all commercial vessels and tankers to refrain from any action to traverse without coordination with the Armed Forces stationed in the Strait of Hormuz so that their security is not jeopardized.

We warn that any foreign armed force, especially the aggressor U.S. military, if they intend to approach and enter the Strait of Hormuz, they will be attacked.

The supporters of the evil America must be careful and not do anything that leads to irreparable regret, because the aggressive action of the United States to disrupt current conditions will result in nothing but the further complication of the situation and the endangering of the security of vessels in this area."
