Iranian Military: US Attempt to Control Hormuz Strait Will Never Succeed

**March 31 (CCTV News) — A spokesperson for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Central Command, Ibrahim Zoelfagari, said Wednesday that strategic misjudgments by the U.S. and Israel regarding the Iran situation will lead to their downfall, and any attempt to control the Strait of Hormuz is futile.** Zoelfagari noted U.S. and Israeli leaders’ miscalculations have led them to judge Iran’s strength solely by material metrics, leaving them unable to anticipate the fierce resistance from the Iranian people and military. He added the two countries have sought to force Iran to capitulate via psychological warfare, displays of so-called advanced weaponry, and the assassination of Iranian children, women, scientists, and senior military commanders. “The U.S. and Israel have deluded themselves into believing they can control the Strait of Hormuz — a wish that will never be fulfilled,” Zoelfagari emphasized.
