First Russian oil reportedly arrives in Japan since Iran war – as it happened

This blog is now closed • Trump threatens to blow Iran ‘off the face of the earth’ if it attacks US vessels • Trump sends warships to break Iran’s strait of Hormuz blockade We have a bit more of the statement from Maj Gen Ali Abdollahi, the commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya central headquarters, who said earlier that the US or any other foreign armed forces would be attacked if they entered the strait of Hormuz (see post at 07.39 for more details).

Abdollahi also said: We will maintain and vigorously manage the security of the strait of Hormuz with all our might, and we inform all commercial ships and tankers to refrain from any attempt to transit without the coordination of the armed forces stationed in the strait of Hormuz, so as not to jeopardise their security.
