Iranian military source: If provoked, Iran may open other fronts

On March 26, an Iranian military source stated that Iran is continuously monitoring and grasping the movements and changes of the enemy's front. If the enemy attempts to conduct ground operations on Iranian islands or other territory, or increases the cost of Iran's defense through maritime activities in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, Iran will respond by opening other fronts. The source said that the Mandeb Strait is one of the important strategic straits in the world, and Iran has both the will and ability to pose a threat to it. He said that if the United States attempts to find a solution to the Strait of Hormuz issue through "stupid actions", it should be wary of letting another strait become its new dilemma. The source also stressed that Iran is fully prepared for further escalation of the situation. (CCTV News)
