The "shadow war" in the Strait of Hormuz just became a direct fire engagement. Senior Iranian lawmaker Manouchehr Mottaki has confirmed that the Iranian Army and Navy fired shots toward U.S. naval vessels this week. While these shots were intended as "near-miss" warnings, Mottaki made it clear: the next round will be a direct hit. Calling the Strait an "absolute red line," Tehran is now openly daring the U.S. to continue its naval blockade, stating they are prepared for a wider war to maintain control over the world’s most vital oil artery. #iran #usa #military #breakingnews #geopolitics #navy #hormuz #war #trump
