An Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander said the Mediterranean Sea could be closed if the United States and its allies continued to commit “crimes” in Gaza, Iranian media reported on Saturday, without explaining how that would happen.

The Iranian state backs the Hamas terrorist group against Israel and it accuses the United States of backing what it calls Israeli crimes in Gaza, where weeks of bombardment have killed many people and driven most of the population from their homes.
