Iran threatens to strike US bases across the Middle East if the American military keeps escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said. The warning appeared in a statement published online. It is a threat rather than a reported attack, and it ties any wider conflict to the escort missions.
What the Guards said
The Guards argued that if the current pattern of escorts continues, the confrontation would reach US bases in the region. The statement did not name a date, a specific base or a time frame for any action. The message is therefore a warning about what could follow, not a description of events already under way.
Why the Strait of Hormuz matters
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow passage of water between Iran and Oman, linking the Gulf with the wider sea. A large share of the world's oil moves through it, which is why strait tensions are closely watched by energy markets. Pakistan imports much of its oil, so any sustained rise in tension there can feed into fuel costs at home over time.
Aasan alfaaz mein
Iran ke Revolutionary Guards ne khitte mein America ke adon par hamle ki dhamki di hai, agar America ki fauj Hormuz ke raste jahazon ki escort karti rahi. Yeh abhi dhamki hai, kisi hamle ki khabar nahi. Hormuz mein tanav barhne se tail ki qeematon par asar par sakta hai, jis ka asar Pakistan mein bhi mehsoos ho sakta hai. Halaat par nazar rakhna zaroori hai.
