America Sinks 10 Iranian Tankers; IRGC Threatens: 'Strike with 20'!

Washington-Tehran-Agencies: U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced yesterday that U.S. forces destroyed 10 Iranian oil tankers during the past week, while simultaneously denying that any U.S. warship had been attacked by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. See page 12.

In response, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard outlined Tehran’s conditions for returning stability to the region and reopening the Strait of Hormuz: the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon, an end to the siege of Yemen, and the release of Iranian assets. Brigadier General Hossein Mohabi, the Guard’s spokesperson, stated that ending the current situation requires a comprehensive ceasefire, an end to threats, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon, lifting the siege on Yemen, the release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets, and a halt to any interference in Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities. Mohabi affirmed that Iran has reached an advanced stage of deterrence, noting that any enemy attack on two or three of its targets would be met with a response against 20 targets.
