Iran to turn region into ‘hell’? IRGC issues chilling Hormuz warning after Trump’s bomb threat

Published on Jun 11, 2026 02:10 pm IST

Iran has issued one of its strongest warnings yet to the United States as tensions continue to escalate across the Middle East. Following fresh U.S. strikes on targets in southern Iran, the IRGC warned that any attempt to undermine security in the Strait of Hormuz would face a severe response. Iranian officials announced the closure of the strategically vital waterway and cautioned that vessels attempting to challenge restrictions could become targets. IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Sayed Majid Mousavi declared that Iran would turn the region into "hell" for those threatening Hormuz, signaling a major escalation in rhetoric. Tehran also claimed it launched coordinated retaliatory strikes against multiple U.S. military targets across the region in response to recent American attacks. The growing confrontation has raised fears of disruption to global energy supplies, as nearly a fifth of the world's oil trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz. With Washington warning of further military action and Tehran vowing additional retaliation, concerns are mounting over a wider regional conflict. Watch the full report for the latest developments in the U.S.-Iran crisis, the Strait of Hormuz standoff, and the expanding military confrontation across the Middle East.
