“We are constantly monitoring and keeping an eye on the enemy front’s preparations and developments,” a military source said to Tasnim.

“If the enemy wants to take action on land in the Iranian islands or anywhere else in our lands or to inflict costs on Iran with naval movements in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of ​​Oman, we will open other fronts for them as a surprise so that their action will not only be of no benefit to them but will also double their costs.”

This military source added, “The Bab al-Mandab Strait is considered one of the world’s strategic straits, and Iran has both the will and the ability to create a completely credible threat against it. Therefore, if the Americans want to think of a solution for the Strait of Hormuz with stupid measures, they should be careful not to add another strait to their problems and predicaments.”

The source concluded by saying that Iran is fully prepared to escalate the situation. “If the enemy has doubts and lacks the wisdom to learn from its experiences, it can test us again, like (they did) in the Asaluyeh incident.”

The source was referring to an Israeli attack on the South Pars Gas Field in Asaluyeh, south of Iran.

Iran responded forcefully to the Israeli aggression, launching missile strikes that caused significant damage to Qatar’s key liquefied natural gas export facility at Ras Laffan Industrial City.

Later, US President Donald Trump moved swiftly to distance Washington from Israel’s brazen attack and promised it would not happen again.
