IRGC says Hormuz will ‘never return to former state’ for US and Isreal

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy (IRGC) said the Strait of Hormuz will “never return to its former state, especially for the US and Israel.

The statement said Iran is in the final stages of operational preparations for what officials describe as a “new order” in the Gulf.

The remarks follow moves in Iran’s parliament to advance draft legislation that would impose transit fees, restrict passage for the United States and Israel, and limit access for countries enforcing sanctions on Tehran.

Iranian state media reported that the proposal includes passage fees to be paid in Iran’s national currency, a ban on transit for the US and Israel, and restrictions on countries participating in unilateral sanctions against Iran.
