Blocking Hormuz is another Trump's stupidity, even NATO understood it — Borujerdi

The United States cannot block the Strait of Hormuz, this is another stupidity of the US president. This was stated by a member of the Iranian parliament's commission on national security and foreign policy, Alaeddin Borujerdi.

"The US president has no leverage to block the Strait of Hormuz, even NATO members were not ready to support this stupidity," Borujerdi said.

According to the deputy, Trump's statements about blocking the strait are only for propaganda purposes.

"Any military unit that wants to follow the path of these empty statements will be sent by the Iranian armed forces to the bottom of the sea before it has time to do anything," Boroujerdi added.

As EADaily reported, after the failure of negotiations between Washington and Tehran, fulfilling the instructions of US President Donald Trump, the Central Command The US Armed Forces (CENTCOM) today at 17.00 (Moscow time) began the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Any Iranian ships that approach the naval blockade zone will be destroyed immediately, Trump warned.
