Enemy attempt to attack Iran’s coasts or islands will lead to mining of all access routes and sea lanes in the Persian Gulf and along the coasts with various types of naval mines.

Axar.az reports, citing IRGC telegram channel, that the Iranian Defense Council made the announcement.

"In that case, the entire Persian Gulf would effectively experience a situation similar to the Strait of Hormuz for an extended period, and this time, in addition to the Strait of Hormuz, the whole Persian Gulf would be practically blocked, with the responsibility for this resting on the aggressor (US)," the statement reads.
