🔸 Speaking to Defa Press, the senior spokesperson for Iran’s Armed Forces said that hundreds of U.S. military personnel were killed and thousands wounded during the U.S. war against Iran. He described Trump’s claims regarding the Strait of Hormuz as baseless and rooted in “fantasies and wishes.”
🔸 He said the enemies knew Iran was a powerful country but still chose to attack, “throwing themselves into a quagmire” from which they can no longer escape.
🔸 “Our response to the U.S. president and leaders is this: they can only dream that the Strait of Hormuz could ever be considered part of their territory.”
🔸 He claimed that U.S. troops have become frustrated and depressed, with many serving involuntarily, and said such an army would ultimately be defeated when confronting Iran’s determined and faith-driven Armed Forces.
🔸 “We are determined to expel the Americans from West Asia. Revenge will be taken for the martyred Imam, the martyrs of Shajareh Tayyebeh Minab School and Lar, and our innocent people. It may take time, but it will be carried out.”
💢 U.S. Al Minhad Air Base in the UAE targeted by Army drones
🔸 Iranian Army Public Relations: Since early this morning, in response to the recent acts of aggression by the enemy and in retaliation for the deaths of brave IRGC members and innocent Iranian civilians on Lark Island, the Islamic Republic of Iran Army has targeted the positions of helicopters and U.S. forces at the Al Minhad Air Base in the UAE with dozens of loitering attack drones.
🔸 Al Minhad Air Base is one of the key hubs for the air support and transportation of foreign forces.
🇮🇷 IRGC Navy:
Hours ago, a rogue supertanker attempting to transit through an unauthorized route in the southern Strait of Hormuz caught fire in massive blazes after striking two naval mines and was brought to a complete stop.
The fate of vessels that violate the security regulations of the Strait of Hormuz will be no different.
✍️ IRGC Public Relations Office announced in its No. 2 statement:
In the Name of Allah, the Subduer of the Tyrants
“Whoever attacks you, then attack him in the same manner as he attacked you.”
🔸 Brave and steadfast people of Islamic Iran,
Your 183 consecutive nights of heroic, unwavering and historic presence in the field have plunged the enemy into shock and bewilderment, inspiring the oppressed and bringing hope to the fighters of Islam.
🔸 Minutes ago, the brave fighters of the IRGC Aerospace Force, in response to the US-Israeli enemy’s aerial aggression against Larak Island, carried out Operation Punishment of the Aggressor. In a combined missile-and-drone operation, codenamed “Ya Muhammad ibn Abdullah (PBUH),” ballistic missiles struck the enemy’s technical and maintenance infrastructure and fighter deployment areas at the US King Hussein and Azraq air bases in Jordan, inflicting heavy damage.
🔸 The IRGC warned that aggression and crimes will not resolve the enemy’s desperation to weaken the Islamic Republic’s control over the Strait of Hormuz. Every strike will be met with an even more forceful response.
“Victory comes only from Allah, the Almighty, the Wise.”
IRGC: The enemy’s terrorist aggression on #Larak Island will be met with a response and punishment of the aggressor.
The IRGC Public Relations Department said:
“The American-Zionist enemy, once again driven by its failure to resolve its domestic problems and its declining credibility among regional countries, has sought to revive its sinister role and justify its actions before public opinion. In an act of aggression, it attacked Larak Island, resulting in the martyrdom and injury of several of our fighters and fellow citizens.”
“This action will be answered by the sons of Islamic Iran and will be met with the punishment of the aggressor.”
@CNNPolitics This is similar to Trump’s earlier move to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” for U.S. users. It is also clear that Google is under American control.
