Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesman for the Central Headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces’ Khatam al-Anbiya combat operations unit, said that the US will not be allowed to interfere in the Strait of Hormuz. He made this statement in a statement on the overall situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Anadolu Agency reported this information in a report on Thursday (July 16), citing Tasnim News Agency.
\nZolfaqari said that the US is continuously making Iran insecure with its attacks. Under no circumstances will Iran allow the US to interfere in the Strait of Hormuz. This is Iran’s ‘irreversible red line’. Zolfaqari threatened that if the US targets Iranian infrastructure, all infrastructure in the region will be targeted in such a way that no trace of it remains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
