Tehran Threatens to Resume Strait Clash
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed that Tehran will not back down from defending its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, even if it has to resume warfare. This statement comes amid measures that Iran considers to be safeguards for its national security. Iran believes that control over the strait falls within its territorial waters, which are overlapping with Omani waters, and it relies on a joint agreement with Oman to manage it. However, the United States and the International Maritime Organization reject these claims, viewing Iran's attempts to assert sovereignty as a threat to international navigation security. The Iranian official emphasizes that his country will continue to enforce its sovereignty over the strait, with the option to resume war as a means of defending its sovereignty, in an escalation coinciding with US military maneuvers in the region.
