The Navy of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a warning statement stating that alternative routes should not be used in the Strait of Hormuz.

According to sea-news.az that the statement emphasized that the routes are under full control: “The entrance and exit of the Strait of Hormuz are known and under our full control. Alternative routes are not safe and carry serious risks. We warn that the use of alternative routes in the Strait of Hormuz could lead to irreversible consequences.”

It should be noted that prior to this, US President Donald Trump had stated that if Iran attacks any vessel in the Strait of Hormuz with missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, or other weapons, the US will respond by targeting bridges and energy facilities located in or around Tehran.
