Iran’s Guards threaten to hit US bases in retaliation for Hormuz escorts

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards threatened on Thursday to strike US bases across the Middle East if the US military continues escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran claims control of the strategic waterway and regularly attacks vessels that pass without its authorization. Iranian forces said four ships were hit in the area overnight, as Washington maintains a naval blockade of Iranian ports and negotiations to end the conflict remain deadlocked.
