Guards general says Iran ‘will burn any ship’ trying to pass through Hormuz

A general in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards has threatened to “burn any ship” seeking to navigate the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for oil and gas shipments, AFP reports.

“We will burn any ship that tries to pass through the Strait of Hormuz,” General Sardar Jabbari said in a post on the Guards’ Telegram channel. “We will also attack oil pipelines and will not allow a single drop of oil to leave the region. Oil price will reach $200 in the coming days.”
