Iran BREAKING: IRGC Threatens to CLOSE Hormuz Strait Again If U.S | Iran’s LAST WARNING to Trump

The Strait of Hormuz — a narrow ribbon of water through which nearly a quarter of the world's seabo e oil flows every single day — is once again at the center of a high-stakes standoff between Washington and Tehran. A senior Iranian military commander has issued one of the most direct threats in recent memory: close the strait, freeze Persian Gulf shipping, and lock down the Red Sea, if the United States does not lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports. The wa ing, carried by Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency and echoed across state media, came from Maj. Gen. Ali Abdollahi. His message was unambiguous. If the American maritime blockade continues and generates what he called "insecurity" for Iranian commercial vessels and oil tankers, Tehran's armed forces would move to halt all exports and imports transiting the Persian Gulf, the Sea of Oman, and the Red Sea.
