Mohsen Rezaei, a former senior commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Saturday that the war will not end until the US leaves the Persian Gulf. ⁣
⁣
Now a member of Iran’s Expediency Council, Rezaei added that the Strait of Hormuz will remain ‘closed’, blocking all American ships from entry. ⁣
⁣
This effective closure, since US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran began February 28, has caused the world's biggest-ever oil supply crisis, according to the International Energy Agency, forcing producers like the UAE to cut output. ⁣
⁣
The strait, through which about a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas passes, gives Tehran significant leverage over the US and its allies.⁣
