Leader’s strategies for Persian Gulf, Hormuz Strait to ensure future of region: Top general

A senior Iranian military commander says outsiders will have no place in the future of the region based on the strategies devised by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.

Commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters Major General Ali Abdollahi made the remark in a message on the occasion of a ceremony on Sunday to commemorate the martyrs of the recent US-Israeli imposed war of aggression against the Islamic Republic.

“We warn the enemies that the Leader’s plans and strategies for ‘managing the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz’ will guarantee the future of the region and a new regional and international order within the framework of the strategy of a ‘strong Iran’, in which foreigners will have no place,” Abdollahi said.

He added that the Iranian nation’s dignity and greatness at the most sensitive juncture of the history of modern humanity and its resistance in the face of the US-Israel enemies marked “one of the most amazing historical events” and prepared the ground for a new geometry of global power centered on Iran.

In the midst of the third sacred defense against the enemy, he emphasized, Iran requires more vigilance and intelligence.

The Iranian nation would continue to stand firmly for its absolute rights and interests and calls upon everyone to continue the bright path of the martyrs and follow Ayatollah Khamenei’s guidelines, he noted.

General Abdollahi stressed the importance of continuing resistance, steadfastness, vigilance, and intelligence against the US-Israeli enemy, saying Iran would secure the Persian Gulf region by eliminating the enemy’s abuse of this waterway, and would bring welfare and progress to all regional nations.

The Iranian general reiterated that the powerful Armed Forces would impose Iran’s authority and pride upon the enemy.

“We stand fully prepared to deliver a harsh and hellish response to any form of aggression,” Abdollahi pointed out.

The criminal US-Israeli aggression against Iran began on February 28 with airstrikes that assassinated senior Iranian officials and commanders, including Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

Iranian Armed Forces responded by launching daily missile and drone operations targeting locations in the Israeli-occupied territories as well as US military bases and assets across the region.

Furthermore, Iran retaliated against the strikes by closing the Strait of Hormuz, which resulted in a significant increase in oil prices and its by-products.

On April 8, forty days into the war, a Pakistan-brokered temporary ceasefire between Iran and the US took effect.
