JAKARTA - The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was deployed to close the Strait of Hormuz amid the heated situation in the Middle East, said IRGC Brigadier General Ibrahim Jabari on Saturday, February 28, 2026.
"Currently, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz by the IRGC forces is being carried out following the aggression against Iran," Jabari said, quoted by VOI from quoting ANTARA.
Earlier that day, the United States and Israel launched a series of attacks on Iranian targets, including Tehran, which caused damage and civilian casualties.
In response, Iran launched missile attacks on Israeli territory and also targeted US military infrastructure in the Middle East region.
The IRGC representative said Israel "miscalculated" by attacking Iran.
Citing a statement from the Iranian Ministry of Education, the ISNA news agency reported that schools in Iran had been closed or temporarily switched to online learning amid US and Israeli attacks.
