    Revolutionary Guard say Strait of Hormuz is “closed”

    The Strait of Hormuz links the Gulf to the Arabian Sea and is critical for global energy exports

    Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Monday the Strait of Hormuz is now “closed” and threatened to attack any vessel attempting to transit, in the most explicit warning yet against the Gulf’s main maritime chokepoint. A Guards commander said they would set any ship “ablaze” if it tried to pass, according to remarks carried by Reuters.

    Iran blames US for terrorist attack; “look at the mirror” replies ambassador Nikki Haley

    At least 12 of the dead served in the Revolutionary Guard, an elite paramilitary unit - and among the other victims was a four-year-old boy

Before leaving for the United Nations on Sunday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani accused other countries, including the US, of provoking the attack killed 25 people and wounded 60 on Saturday.
