Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have openly challenged U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion of deploying naval vessels to escort oil tankers through the critical Strait of Hormuz.
In a bold statement, Guards spokesperson Alimohammad Naini declared Iran's anticipation for the presence of U.S. forces and referred to past attacks as a cautionary tale.
Heightened tensions in the Middle East have recently halted shipping routes, with nine vessels attacked, prompting strategic warnings from both sides.
