Iran: Will not allow US intervention in the management affairs of the Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Supreme Joint Military Command stated: Iran will not allow the United States to interfere in the management affairs of the Strait of Hormuz. Any attempt by the US to pass through the strait without Iran's authorization will face strong confrontation. We warn the leaders of regional countries that any cooperation with the US will be regarded as an act of war against Iran. If the war escalates, it will affect all countries in the region, and the responsibility lies with the US and its allies.

Iran will resolutely respond to any actions by US forces that disrupt or render unsafe the navigation of commercial vessels and oil tankers outside Iran's designated shipping routes and without permission from the armed forces. The frequent adventurism and malicious acts by the US, attempting to intervene in the management of the Strait of Hormuz, have seriously endangered regional security, international trade, and the safe passage of oil tankers and commercial vessels. Unfortunately, the cooperation of certain regional countries has also increased the risk of the war spreading across the entire region. (Jinshi)
