IRGC warns of regional upheaval if Hormuz destabilized
Iran's IRGC chief Majid Mousavi warned that any US destabilization of the Strait of Hormuz would provoke harsh consequences and turn the region into 'hell,' in a response tied to recent US strikes. Iran's side echoed a claim that Hormuz could be fully closed to shipping, while CENTCOM denied a closure and said commercial ships continue to transit; the exchanges underscore escalating US–Iran tensions over Hormuz and regional security.
