The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy, Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, has stated that while Iran possesses the military capability to close the Strait of Hormuz, it does not intend to do so for now.

Speaking to reporters in Iran’s southern port city of Bandar Abbas on February 9, the admiral dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to drive Iran’s oil exports to zero.

Tangsiri emphasized that any decision regarding the strait’s closure would be made by Iran’s top leadership, while the naval forces would act in accordance with their directives. He underscored Iran’s strategic superiority, noting that its missile, drone, and naval capabilities extend beyond such measures.

“We are militarily capable of closing the Hormuz Strait, but won’t do that for now, as long as we are using the strait ourselves,” Tangsiri stated, affirming that Iran continues to operate within the framework set by the country’s leadership.

Recall that earlier, US President Donald Trump issued an executive order resuming the maximum pressure policy against Iran. Following that, Trump stated that he did not intend to engage in armed conflict with Iran and hoped to reach an agreement with Tehran on the Iranian nuclear issue to avoid conflict.
