Speaking to Tasnim, the military source pointing to growing US threats against Kharg Island, south of Iran, and said, “If the US carries out its threats regarding a military aggression on Kharg Island, it will definitely face a response that is unprecedented compared to the surprises of the last 21 days of war.”
“Insecurity in other straits, including the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Red Sea, is one of the options of the Resistance Front, and the situation will become much more complicated than it is today for the Americans,” the source reiterated.
The source said that the Americans are now facing a very big dilemma regarding the Strait of Hormuz, adding, “On one hand, they officially announced that they are lifting the Iranian oil embargo for the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution in order to control global oil price. And on the other hand, they say that they want to attack Kharg Island to solve the oil problem in the world.”
“These two declared strategies of the US are completely contradictory to each other," the source noted.
“If the Americans attack Kharg Island, firstly, oil production could be temporarily disrupted, secondly, Iran would set fire to all the facilities in the region and the situation would become much more complicated for the Americans and the region.”
“Thirdly” the source said “the Americans would have no way to protect Kharg and would suffer losses that are unprecedented since World War II.”
