Ali Mohammad Naini, spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran, announced that the Iranian armed forces will not allow even a liter of oil to be exported from the region until further orders, regardless of pressure from the US and its allies, Tasnim News Agency reports.

“The control over the course of the war and its end is now in Iran’s hands. The outcome of the region is determined by Iranian forces, not the Americans,” Naini said.

According to him, US President Donald Trump’s claims that the power of Iran’s armed forces is nearing its end do not correspond to reality.

All American ships, including military and commercial vessels, are forced to maintain a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers in order to protect themselves from Iranian missiles and drones.

American troops are leaving bases and moving through cities in the region, while the Israeli military is using civilian objects as cover.

Naini also noted that statements about a decrease in Iranian missile strikes are not true. Iranian missiles have become even more powerful, and the weight of their warheads already exceeds one ton, he said.

In addition, according to the IRGC spox, the adversary’s ammunition reserves are close to exhaustion, and key US military facilities in the Persian Gulf have been damaged.

Naini described US attempts to limit oil prices as temporary and ineffective measures.
