A new statement from the Iranian Army about the punitive operation carried out today against the Americans, which was named “Operation Martyr Mayavan” in memory of the martyr Amir Behzad Mayavan.

Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran:

On Friday, May 08, while American naval forces were attempting to withdraw three of their destroyers, which had violated maritime law with aerial support from the Strait of Hormuz towards the Sea of Oman, the naval forces of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran carried out a joint missile and drone operation against this naval group using 8 cruise missiles and 24 suicide drones.

As a result of this operation, and despite intensive attempts by American naval forces to repel the attack, one cruise missile and three suicide drones successfully struck the American destroyers.

Washington is distributing to Security Council members a draft resolution demanding Iran open the Strait of Hormuz, and may put it to a vote tomorrow.

I'm afraid neither Russia nor China will veto this and give legitimacy to an international force attacking Iran for FREEDOM OF SHIPMENT.

#CENTCOM claims that 2 US flagged merchant vessels have crossed the #StraitOfHormuz safely: U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers are currently operating in the Persian Gulf after transiting the Strait of Hormuz in support of Project Freedom. American forces are actively assisting efforts to restore transit for commercial shipping. As a first step, 2 U.S.-flagged merchant vessels have successfully transited through the Strait of Hormuz and are safely headed on their journey.

They refer to Persian Gulf as Arabian to provoke Iran even more.
