The military adviser to Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei has warned that Iran would sink American ships in the Strait of Hormuz if the United States decided to 'police' the key shipping bottleneck.
Mohsen Rezaei, a former commander-in-chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, made the threat in an interview with state TV, saying 'These ships of yours will be sunk by our first missiles and have created a great danger for the US military.'
Rezaei also expressed his opposition to extending a fragile two-week ceasefire and said it would be 'great' if the United States launched a ground invasion of Iran, as 'we would take thousands of hostages and then for each hostage we would get a billion dollars.'
