[Iranian Armed Forces: US Ships Will Not Be Allowed to Enter the Persian Gulf Under Any Circumstances] Golden Finance reported on October 24th, citing CCTV News, that Iranian Armed Forces Chief of Staff Ali Abdollahhi stated that the Iranian Armed Forces have successfully contained the US Navy, rendering it incapable of approaching the waters near the Persian Gulf or Iranian territorial waters. Under no circumstances will Iran allow US ships to enter the Persian Gulf, and the US's desire to return its military forces to the Persian Gulf is merely a pipe dream. Abdollahhi also pointed out that the US and Israel, along with their militaries, will become increasingly mired in the quagmire of their own making, and this will only intensify the longer the confrontation continues.
