Iran warns ships passing through Strait of Hormuz

An Iranian official says Iran will set fire to anyone who tries to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

The warning comes from Ebrahim Jabbari, an advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), speaking on state television.

He confirms that the strait is closed and warned ships that if they pass through they will face serious responses.

"They should not come to this region. They will certainly face a serious response from us."

Jabbari also says that the Americans are "thirsty for the region's oil" and that Iran will "hit its pipelines in the region and will not allow oil to be exported from this area."

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important shipping lanes and a key oil transit point. About a fifth of the world's oil and gas passes through the strait./ CNA, translated by BBC
