IRGC: Oil and gas exports from the region will stop until US hostilities end

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that the main logistics and support center of the U.S. Army in West Asia, located in Mina Abdullah, Kuwait, has been set on fire. This action came in response to U.S. missile strikes and bombing of coastal bases and locations in the southern provinces of Iran, which the IRGC described as a reply to America’s failure and incapacity after ships did not violate the rules. The IRGC also warned that until what it called the “U.S. atrocities in the region” come to an end, oil and gas exports from the region will be halted and the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed.

• In its Statement No. 11, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said that KJL, the main logistics and support center of the U.S. Army in West Asia, was set on fire in Mina Abdullah, Kuwait.
• The IRGC said this action was carried out in the fourth wave of Operation “Nasr 2,” under the code name “Ya Aba Abdallah al-Hussain (AS).”
• The IRGC warned that as long as the “U.S. atrocities in the region” continue, not a single drop of oil or gas will be exported from the region.
• The IRGC added that these “aggressions” will achieve nothing except delaying the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
• The IRGC claimed that in recent nights the U.S. had been attacking Iranian bases under the pretext that “violating” ships had struck them.
• According to the IRGC’s account, last night no ship had the “courage to violate the rules and cooperate with America,” and no impact occurred.
• The IRGC said that, to conceal its defeat and incapacity, the U.S. targeted a number of coastal bases and locations in the southern provinces of Iran with cruise missiles and fighter-bomber bombs.
• The IRGC stressed that the fighters of “mighty Islam” punished and suppressed the “aggressors” with “crushing” responses.
• The Public Relations Office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps opened its statement with “In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful” and the verse: “So if anyone transgresses against you, transgress against him in the same way that he transgressed against you.”
• In its statement, the IRGC referred to the “epic-making people of Islamic Iran,” who, through their “aware and courageous” presence on the field, have created “proud and unprecedented scenes.”
• The IRGC also referred to its “brave sons” in the IRGC and Basij, who, trusting in God and heartened by the people’s presence and prayers, are “advancing with steadfast, victorious steps.”. Coverage difference: Both sources covered the main news about the burning of the KJL center in Kuwait and the IRGC’s warning over oil exports and the Strait of Hormuz. “Fars” mentioned these points briefly and included parts of the IRGC statement, while “Akharin Khabar,” under the title “Statement No. 11,” provided more detail from the IRGC’s account of the U.S. attacks, the absence of ship violations, and Iran’s response.
