Iran has declared a ban on American weapons transiting the Strait of Hormuz to reach bases in the region, according to a statement from the Iranian army's spokesperson, Brigadier General Akrami Nia. The strategic waterway is now under the control of Iran's armed forces, with the western sector held by the Revolutionary Guard's navy and the eastern sector by the army's navy.

"We will no longer allow American weapons to pass through the Strait of Hormuz and reach the region's bases," Nia stated. He added that any nation wishing to navigate the waterway must do so under the supervision of Iran's armed forces and without causing harm.

Military Drill and National Unity

Separately, Iranian forces are conducting a maneuver dubbed "Confronting the Enemy on Any Land." Nia claimed that the enemy's plan to shock the nation by assassinating the Supreme Leader and senior military commanders, and to topple the system within three days, had failed. Contrary to these expectations, he said, people did not take to the streets for a coup but instead rallied in support of the regime and their country, strengthening national cohesion.

Brigadier General Seyed Hassan Mortazavi, commander of the "Quds Headquarters" of the Revolutionary Guard's ground force, stated that enemies who once considered themselves global superpowers now bow in submission to the greatness and independence of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Speaking at a ceremony distributing dowries for brides in Sistan and Baluchestan province, Mortazavi highlighted the widespread public presence in various arenas. "Those who claimed people were distancing themselves from the system must now see this vast and heroic presence," he said. "This presence is not only in Iran but across Islamic countries and even in Western nations in support of the Islamic Republic."
