An IRGC Navy official said the possibility of war with the US is low, citing American weakness, but warned Iran is fully prepared for any attack. He said Iranian forces are ready to respond strongly, adding coastal areas would become a “graveyard for aggressors” if attacked.
In its latest warning to the US, Iranian Revolutionary Guards official has said that the armed forces are ready “with full magazines.” In a statement quoted by Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency Mohammad Akbarzadeh, deputy political chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy also added that the possibility of war is low. This comes after US attacked Iran's missile sites, mine-laying boats near Strait of Hormuz. In its warning, the Iranian official also said that the area from Chabahar to Mahshahr will be turned into “graveyard for aggressors” referring to locations along Iran’s southern coast where the US launched its strike stating that if was a “self defense” attack.
“The possibility of war is low because of the enemy’s weakness. Do not doubt that we will turn the area from Chabahar to Mahshahr into a graveyard for aggressors," Mohammad Akbarzadeh said. Earlier on May 26, Rubio said that the blockage of Strait of Hormuz was “illegal and unlawful" and it will be opened one way or the another. Iranian Foreign Ministry warned the US of retaliation accusing Washington of violating the fragile ceasefire during the last 48 hours in the southern coastal province of Hormozgan. The statement added that Tehran “will not leave any evil unanswered and will not hesitate to defend the Iranian nation.”
