IRGC: Israeli operations in Lebanon and Gaza will lead to ‘traffic’ in Hormuz, Bab El Mandeb
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Quds Force Esmaeil Qaani says that Israeli operations in Lebanon and Gaza will lead the Tehran-led “Axis of Resistance” to establish a similar “traffic situation” both in Bab El Mandeb and the Strait of Hormuz.
“The evil of the Zionists (Israel) in Lebanon and Gaza, in the shadow of the shameless support of America, will mark the determination of the resistance axis to expand support from both fronts, take steps to activate other fronts, and equate the traffic situation of the Bab El Mandeb Strait with the Strait of Hormuz,” Qaani says in a relatively rare written statement carried by Iran state media.
