An Iranian senior military official told Al Jazeera that if the United States makes a strategic mistake, another strait in the Middle East may face the same situation as the Strait of Hormuz.
The source emphasized that if Washington further escalates regional tensions, Iran has developed multiple response plans.
The source said, "If the United States makes a strategic mistake, another strait will suffer the same fate as the Strait of Hormuz... Any mistake by the U.S. would worsen the regional situation, and Iran has formulated a phased, multi-dimensional military response plan." The above content was cited by RIA Novosti from the television station's report.
The source did not explicitly mention which strait it refers to, but the public speculated that it is likely the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.
Additionally, this Iranian military official stated that a local war in the Middle East may soon enter a new phase, and Iran still holds several cards yet to be played.
According to Eurasia Daily News, former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO in Europe, Admiral James Stavridis, told CNN that the mines laid by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz could turn this key shipping route into a "hell on earth" within just a few days.
