Iran threatens to turn Middle East into 'inferno' for US amid escalating attacks

Iran's Revolutionary Guard commander, Majid Mousavi, declared that the Middle East would become an "inferno" for the United States in response to "American aggression." This statement escalates tensions amid a new wave of attacks between the two nations in the region.

Mousavi's warning, as reported by Iranian media, directly challenged the US presence, stating, "Do you think you can make the sacred Strait of Hormuz an unsafe place? We will turn the entire region into an inferno for you."

The US military's Central Command confirmed launching "multiple targets" in Iran as retaliation for Islamic Republic aggressions. In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guard reportedly deployed drones and missiles against US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan.

Adding to the volatile situation, Iran's military announced a complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all vessels, threatening to fire on any attempting to cross the crucial oil trade route. However, the US Central Command disputed this, asserting that commercial ships continue to navigate the strait unimpeded. These developments occur despite ongoing peace talks between Washington and Tehran, mediated by countries like Pakistan.
