TEHRAN, Oct 22 — Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on Thursday threatened to strike American bases across the Middle East if the US military continues to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
“The US military must know that if this trend continues, the conflict will extend to its bases in the region,” the Guards, the ideological arm of Iran’s military, said in a statement on their Sepah News website.
Iran claims control over Hormuz, a strategic shipping route through which one-fifth of the world’s oil supplies passed before war broke out in February.
It regularly attacks ships that attempt to navigate the strait without its authorisation.
