Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps: United States attack “seriously disrupts” the resumption of shipping in the Strait

On 9 July, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that the strike by the United States forces would not only trigger a “destructive response” by Iran, but would also disrupt traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route. In a statement, the Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran stated that the current volume of shipping had returned to 50 per cent of pre-war levels and attributed the current disruption to Washington's “adventure and intervention” on the route. It also stressed that “foreign forces have no interest in this land or in the Strait of Hormuz”. Kim Xian
