Iran threatens West: Red Sea is your 'nightmare' and we will close the

An Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander has threatened the West, saying they will close the Mediterranean Sea if the United States and its allies continue to commit "crimes" in Gaza.

"They will soon see the closure of the Mediterranean Sea, the Strait of Gibraltar and other waterways," Tasnim quoted General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, who holds the post of coordinating commander of the Revolutionary Guards, as saying.

Iran does not have direct access to the Mediterranean itself and it was not clear how the Guard might try to shut it down. The only Iran-backed groups in the Mediterranean are Lebanon's Hezbollah and allied militia in Syria, at the far end of the sea from Gibraltar.

However, Naqdi spoke of "the birth of new resistance powers and the closure of other waterways." "Yesterday, the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz became a nightmare for them, and today they are trapped in the Red Sea," Naqdi was quoted as saying among other things.

There is no explanation in the Iranian media reporting on how the "lock" of the Mediterranean will be realized, but the fact is that Tehran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have brought the global economy to a collapse, striking cargo ships and missiles in the Red Sea.

This has led to the creation of a US-led international coalition to patrol the Red Sea and maintain the safety of ships passing along the Suez Canal.


Iran is part of the Hamas-supporting axis against Israel and accuses the United States of allowing Israeli crimes into Gaza, where weeks of bombing have killed thousands of people and led to the displacement of most of the population from their homes.

The White House said On Friday that Iran was "deeply involved" in planning operations against commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
