Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced that missiles and drones are locked onto US bases and warships in the region. Iran warned that any interference with its oil tankers or commercial vessels would lead to heavy attacks on American targets. The statements sparked comments that tensions in the Middle East are rising again.
As tensions between Iran and the US escalate once again, a noteworthy statement came from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Revolutionary Guard's Aerospace Force Command announced that missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles have been locked onto US bases and “enemy ships” in the region and are awaiting the firing order.
“MISSILES LOCKED, WE AWAIT THE ORDER”
In a statement issued by the unit responsible for Iran's strategic missile operations, it was stated, “The missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles of the Revolutionary Guard's Aerospace Force have been locked onto US targets in the region and the ships of the aggressive enemy. We are awaiting the firing order.”
The statement came following possible interventions targeting Iranian oil tankers and commercial vessels.
US BASES AND WARSHIPS IN THE CROSSHAIRS
The Revolutionary Guard's Navy, in a statement titled “Warning,” announced that if the US intervenes with Iranian tankers, American bases and warships in the region would be targeted.
The statement said, “Any intervention against Iranian oil tankers and commercial vessels will be met with heavy attacks on one of the American centers in the region and enemy ships.”
TENSIONS RISING IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Iran's consecutive statements have led to comments that tensions in the Middle East are rising again. Experts note that a potential conflict, particularly around the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, could directly impact global energy shipments and oil prices.
