Basij Commander: No one can confront Iran if it decides to close Strait of Hormuz; warmongers should bear in mind that a single bullet can inflame the entire region

Deputy Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces in charge of Basij (volunteer forces) and Defense Culture, Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri, said that it is quite clear that a major part of world energy passes through Strait of Hormuz, which is part of Iranian territory. He added that military experts believe that no country ‘can do a damn thing’ (as Khomeini once said…), if Iran should decide to close the Strait of Hormuz. He said that Iran closely monitors all movements and developments in the region and tries to let the Strait of Hormuz remain open for world nations until Iranian interests are respected. Jazayeri dismissed US “media hyped” threats against Iran if nuclear talks fail. He said that Iran is well prepared to strongly thwart any US military action. “Such threats are merely a bluff and part of psychological warfare. The US is unable to target Iran, and the Zionist regime (Israel) is too weak to venture into confrontation with Iran… Those warmongers should bear in mind that single bullet can inflame the entire region.”
