  "account": "Iranian Army spokesperson Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia announced that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the US accepts Iran's conditions, according to IRNA. At a ceremony honoring commanders and pilots killed during the June 5, 1963, uprising, Akraminia stated that Iran's military forces, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Law Enforcement Command, have become more prepared following direct confrontation with the US and Israeli regime. He attributed this improvement to growing public support, which has bolstered military morale.\n\nBefore the ongoing conflict, approximately 130 ships traversed the strait daily, transporting 20% of global oil, jet fuel, and chemical fertilizers. Akraminia cautioned that any renewed US aggression would provoke an immediate response from Iran. He emphasized that American bases and interests in the Persian Gulf and beyond the Middle East are within range of Iranian drones and missiles, with forces obligated to respond swiftly, effectively, and without geographic limitations, as per the orders of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyid Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei.\n\nThrough US officials, Akraminia estimated American direct war costs to exceed $48 billion, with indirect losses potentially enduring for years. He attributed these financial impacts to Republican election setbacks and protests in European countries. Additionally, Akraminia highlighted 251 nights of public solidarity gatherings that further strengthened national unity.",
