Islamic Republic of Iran Armed Forces spokesperson Abolfazl Shekarchi stated on Thursday, while appearing on state TV, that the Strait of Hormuz will be closed "long-term" for all vessels from the United States and Israel.
The issue of the waterway has been repeatedly brought up in the past couple of weeks, with US President Donald Trump criticizing allies over their inaction. Meanwhile, the European Union officials suggested scaling up the bloc's Aspides naval mission, as they insisted that "another critical trade route" cannot be lost.
Shekarchi further said that Washington will not be allowed to leave the war without any consequences. "[US President Donald] Trump has said for the umpteenth time that [the US military has] destroyed the Iranian armed forces. So if you destroyed them, are missiles raining down on your commanders and officers from Mars?" he asked.
