JERUSALEM, Israel – Iranian regime leaders are still denying they are holding talks with the United States over the Strait of Hormuz as Tehran launched an overnight attack on a U.S. military base in Kuwait.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reportedly launched at least three drones at the base early Tuesday.
Officials also insisted they would not accept a U.S.-backed plan to create an alternative shipping corridor through the Strait and relayed that the country’s supreme leader is looking to Washington to change its behavior.
Gen. Mohsen Rezaei, a member of the Iranian Expediency Council, remarked in an interview, “We will, by no means, allow the second corridor in the Strait of Hormuz. (We won’t allow) the second corridor to open. Even if they deploy warships, we will target them.”
