BREAKING: Tehran Says only China to pass through the Strait of Hormuz

 

Iran has announced that it will allow only China to pass through the Strait of Hormuz , as an expression of gratitude for Beijing’s supportive stance toward Tehran during the war.

According to China now, as the war with United States, Israel rang on, the strait has been closed to all other ships without exception, with a clear warning that any unauthorized crossing will be directly targeted by Iranian forces.

Iranian Defense Ministry spokesman said the country’s military capabilities would soon force its adversaries into a deadlock and compel them to stop the war, the IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency reported on Tuesday.

Reza Talaei-Nik said Iran’s “jihadi will,” tactical capabilities and weapons power are at a level that will leave the enemy facing a stalemate in the coming days and ultimately force a halt to the fighting.

He added that Iran’s “offensive defense" would continue with strength.

According to a report by Press TV, the largest US radar in the Persian Gulf that was capable of monitoring the entire Middle East, used for early warning with a range of 5,000 km and a price of 1.1 billion dollars, was targeted and destroyed by Iranian Missiles.

Iran’s IRGC in an announcement also said, the second American THAAD anti-missile defense system in the West Asia region was hit by the precision missiles of the IRGC Aerospace Force and was taken out of operational orbit. Tehran Times reported.

Yesterday, the THAAD radar stationed at Al Ruwais base in the UAE was also destroyed. With the destruction of these two systems, the missile hand of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been opened for successful target hits.

AFP reports that Iran has stepped up its attacks on economic targets and US missions across the Middle East on Tuesday as President Donald Trump warned it was "too late" for the Islamic republic to seek talks to escape the war

Israel’s air force struck the building housing Iran’s Council of Experts in the holy city of Qom on Tuesday in an attempt to disrupt the process of appointing a new supreme leader, Axios reported, citing an Israeli defense official.

The official said the strike occurred while votes were being counted and that the aim was to prevent the clerical body from selecting a successor to former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was assassinated on Saturday in the first wave of Israeli strikes.

"We wanted to prevent them from picking a new supreme leader," Axios quoted the unnamed Israeli official as saying.

It was not immediately clear how many of the council’s 88 members were in the building at the time or the extent of the damage, the report said.
