IRGC Spokesman Strait of Hormuz Mines: No Naval Mine Cleared, US Claims Outright Lies

No Naval Mine Has Been Cleared From the Strait of Hormuz: IRGC Spokesman

Shiite News: The spokesman of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, strongly rejecting American claims that naval mines have been cleared from the Strait of Hormuz, has said that no military naval mine has been cleared from the Strait of Hormuz and this claim is an outright lie.

The IRGC spokesman was responding to the US President’s claim that America has control over the Strait of Hormuz. He said that the numerous incidents involving oil tankers in this waterway in recent days have made clear the reality of Washington’s claim.

He raised the question: when incidents are occurring daily with numerous ships, on what basis is America claiming control over the Strait of Hormuz? The spokesman also termed as completely false the statements of the US President and the commander of the US Central Command in which they spoke of clearing mines.
