Ali Mohammadi, the IRGC Navy's deputy for political affairs, told Fars that if another war breaks out Iran would "undoubtedly attack and hit their ships and destroyers even in the Indian Ocean," mocking Trump's claim to control the strait by asking why U.S. ships were not there.

Why it matters

The threat follows reports that Trump expects to resume bombing after the midterms and echoes a warning by Yahya Rahim Safavi, an adviser to the supreme leader, that the war could spread to the Indian Ocean.
