US-Israeli strikes on Iran

Strait of Hormuz to be closed to US, Israel for long time — Iranian General Staff

A representative of the Iranian armed forces Abolfazl Shekarchi stressed that "under no pretext will they approach it"

TEHRAN, April 2. /TASS/. The Strait of Hormuz will be closed to the United States and Israel for a very long period, a representative of the Iranian armed forces, Abolfazl Shekarchi, has stated.

"The Strait of Hormuz will be closed to the Americans and Zionists (meaning Israel - TASS note) for a long time. Under no pretext will they approach it," he said on state television.

The Iranian authorities have decided to close the Strait of Hormuz to vessels associated with the United States, Israel, and countries that have supported the aggression against the Islamic Republic. During the conflict, several tankers were attacked for passing through the strait without Tehran’s permission. On March 25, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reported that Iran had allowed passage through the Strait of Hormuz for friendly countries, including Russia, India, Iraq, China and Pakistan.
