IRGC threatens US forces, touts Hormuz control

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a stark warning to the United States, claiming to have prepared prisoner-of-war camps for American soldiers. The statement asserts that US bases are within range of Iranian missiles and that managing and controlling the Strait of Hormuz is an inevitable strategic priority for Iran. This rhetoric underscores Tehran's readiness to escalate tensions and target critical global chokepoints in response to US military pressure. The warning follows a series of confrontations, including a recent US Navy interception of an Iranian tanker in the Indian Ocean.
