TEHRAN, March 10 (Xinhua) -- Iran will use missiles and submarines to stop the movement of the fleet of the United States and its allies passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri said Tuesday in a post on social media platform X.
The post dismissed previous U.S. claims that its navy escorted oil tankers passing through the crucial waterway.
Meanwhile, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani said on X that the Strait of Hormuz "will either be a strait of peace and prosperity for all or will be a strait of defeat and suffering for warmongers."
On Feb. 28, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities, killing Iran's former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with senior military commanders and civilians. Iran responded by launching waves of missile and drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. assets in the Middle East.
The conflict's broader regional repercussions raise concerns about disruptions to oil exports and global energy markets, primarily due to risks to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
