CHIEF Commander of the Iranian Army Amir Hatami said on Sunday that U.S. forces had been expelled and were no longer permitted to enter the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman, or the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian media reported.

Hatami said U.S. military bases in the region could by no means return to their previous state, and Iran will never allow such a situation to happen.
