Iran war live: IRGC asserts strait control, US enforces blockade

Iran’s acting defence minister says Tehran has many “surprises” in store for its enemies.“We should not talk about the surprises now, but Iranian knowledge, the Iranian youth and the things being carried out in the defence industries will, God willing, bring good surprises,” Majid Ebn al-Reza said on Friday, as reported by Tasnim News Agency.“Everyone, and especially the enemies, should know that they will become aware of Iran’s surprises in due time.”Tehran has reportedly inflicted billions of dollars worth of damage on US military and intelligence sites in the Middle East since the war began six months ago.The US is widely believed to be running critically low on missile interceptors, which are costly and time-consuming to manufacture. The White House and the Pentagon deny that there are shortages of munitions.
