Kotori: Our authority is evident in the Strait of Hormuz. We will take America out of the region Member of the Parliament's National Security Committee: We planned to control the Strait of Hormuz since 1366; Our goal is to completely remove America from the region. The armed forces of our country, especially the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, carry out their mission in the Strait of Hormuz with authority. Since those years, we predicted that we would have to take control of the Strait of Hormuz, and in this matter we have no qualms about confronting the other side. The enemy thinks that by restricting the border routes he can put economic pressure on the country and cause a shortage of necessary items. While during the 8 years of the Holy Defense and after it, we identified alternative routes for the supply of goods and we know which routes to meet the needs of the country.
