Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps warned on Sunday that any military ships approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be viewed as violating the two-week ceasefire and would be dealt with “harshly and decisively.”

In a statement carried by Iranian state media, the IRGC said the strait remains under the “smart management” and control of Iran’s navy and that the waterway remains open for non-military vessels, but that military ones would get a “forceful response.”

No word yet on whether U.K. will send minesweepers, as Trump said.

    Even if France wanted to, it would be suicidal. The US Navy is way too strong. No, it is obviously not possible.

      Well, since it’s suicide, I guess we can count on them dying quietly then.
