Warning US President Donald Trump, the Iranian army chief said that Tehran has defenders who will 'break your legs' if necessary. This information was reported by the Iranian state media IRIB.

The report said that Iranian army chief Major General Amir Hatami has strongly criticized US President Donald Trump's comments on the Strait of Hormuz. Hatami said that it is a big mistake to take such comments on the Strait of Hormuz lightly. Iran has defenders who will 'break your legs' if necessary.

He also claimed that US forces have been effectively removed from the region. He also commented that the US is now not allowed to enter the Persian Gulf, the Sea of ​​Oman or the Strait of Hormuz.

The Iranian army chief said that US bases in Iran will not be allowed to return to their previous state. He also said that Iran will never allow that to happen. The Iranian military chief issued this stern warning in response to Trump's earlier threat to turn the Strait of Hormuz into US territory.
