Iran threatens European military bases amid Hormuz escalation

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which appears to be making decisions in Tehran, unveiled a new plan for transit according to its waterways, is broadcasting Telegrafi.

The plan, in practice, could expand the area of monitoring and control of IRC beyond the Hormuz Strait in areas as far as the United Arab Emirates, a key transit route used by the United Arab Emirates to bypass the Strait for oil exports, and brought forces on the verge of confrontation with CENTCOM forces.

Following this action and the launch of what US President Donald Trump described as"Operation Freedom", reports appeared Monday afternoon of warning shooting shot at the American Navy.

Trump said some fast IRC ships had been sunk as U.S. Central Command head Admiral Brad Cooper said US military helicopters had sunk six small Iranian ships targeting civilian ships in the Hormuz Strait.

Admiral Cooper said the American Army cleared a path in the Strait of Hormuz that is free from any Iranian mines for ships to resume navigation, while the American Navy is creating a <x0-movre of defense"that includes American helicopters and fighter planes to protect freight ships leaving the strait.

Meanwhile, Iran's attacks on Fujairah and targets in the United Arab Emirates have received broad sentences from the international community, especially from Gulf Co-operation Council states.

European leaders who have travelled to Yerevan for the European Political Community summit have also condemned Iran's destabilising actions in the Persian Gulf and have reaffirmed their support for the United Arab Emirates. The United Arab Emirates said they had used 12 ballistic missiles, three other missiles and four fears released by Iran on Monday.

A residential building housing workers in Oman was also targeted Monday, officials said, though they did not provide details about the incident.

Iran could hit Europe, claims hardline politician

Hossain Shariatmadari, a hardline politician near Ajatollah Ali Khameneit, who was killed in American-Israel attacks, told Iranian conservative daily Kayhan that the"military boots of those European countries that will become available to America can and should become legitimate and legitimate targets for our military attacks"on Tuesday.

Claiming that the continuation of the current situation is unacceptable for the United States, while Iran"as has not yet begun", Ghalibach stated that"the security of sea transport and energy transit under the control of the United States and its allies has been jeopardised by the violation of the ceasefire and the deployment of a blockade.
