Iran warned on March 23 that an attack on its southern coast and islands would lead to the entire Persian Gulf being cut off by sea mines, state media in Tehran reported.
“Any attempt by the enemy to attack Iranian coasts or islands will naturally, and in accordance with common military practice, cause all access routes and communication lines in the Persian Gulf and the coasts to be mined with various types of naval mines, including floating mines that can be releaseded from the coast,” a statement from the the Iranian Defence Council said, according to the regime aligned Defa Press.
