“Iran said on Thursday it would respond with "long and painful strikes" on U.S. positions if Washington renewed attacks, and also reasserted its control over the Strait of Hormuz, complicating U.S. plans for a coalition to reopen the waterway.”
CORROBORATED
The claim is directly supported by a web search result citing Reuters, which reports that Iran threatened 'long and painful strikes' on US positions if Washington renewed attacks and reasserted control over the Strait of Hormuz. This constitutes reporting from an independent news source (Reuters) and is corroborated by the general context of the web search results detailing Iran's threats regarding US actions and the Strait of Hormuz.
