Army Spokesman Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia stated, “From now on, we will not allow American weapons to transit the Strait of Hormuz and enter regional bases.”
During a ceremony on the occasion of the 40th day of the martyrdom of the former Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, Akraminia noted that any country wishing to transit the waterway must do so under the supervision of Iran’s Armed Forces.
According to him, the western part of the Strait is under the command of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy, while its eastern section is controlled by the Islamic Republic of Iran Army’s Navy.
He added, “This coordinated and synergistic control, while enhancing Iran’s monitoring and sovereignty over the region, will generate revenues for the country up to twice the oil income.”
Akraminia further asserted that despite two decades of planning by enemies to attack Iran, the country’s Armed Forces not only maintained their combat capability, but also actively thwarted hostile objectives through missile strikes and ground operations.
He noted that in the recent war, all of the enemy’s goals, including the destruction of missile and nuclear capabilities, the fragmentation of the country, and the overthrow of the system, failed.
Akraminia maintained that Iran’s military doctrine is now offensive in nature and any mistake by an enemy will be met with the most severe response.
He stressed, “After the first revolution that expelled Shah and the second revolution that expelled America from Iran, today we will expel America from the entire region, and its presence will be eliminated from this region forever.”
