Iran strengthens defenses on Hormuz Island amid U.S. military threat
Tehran is reinforcing its military presence on Khark Island with additional troops and air defense systems. According to CNN, landmines have also been deployed on the island.
According to the network, the Trump administration is studying plans to seize the island as leverage to pressure Iran into opening the Strait of Hormuz.
Amid this backdrop, Mohsen Rezaei, advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, stated that even if the U.S. employs its air force, it has achieved no results—and questioned whether American soldiers are ready to "die for Israel."
