A US official said that 'Iran cannot now close the Strait of Hormuz,' stressing that 'the Iranian regime is now more vulnerable than ever to an internal revolution and a rebellion movement.'

He pointed out that US President Donald Trump gave the Iranians an opportunity to make correct 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, stressing that Iran will not be able to rebuild its economy or military industry for years.
