A US official said that "Iran cannot now close the Strait of Hormuz," affirming that "Iran's regime is now more vulnerable than ever to an internal revolution and insurgency."

He pointed out that US President Donald Trump gave Iranians the opportunity to make the right decisions, and they chose the wrong ones, noting that Washington is now set to punish Iran for its wrong decisions, according to Al Arabiya.

The US official revealed that his country is moving additional equipment to the region, which gives the president the option to launch a larger strike, affirming that Iran will not be able to rebuild its economy or its military industry for years.
