Tehran warns of possible military action over Hormuz
Iran has confirmed that it will not back down from its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and that it is prepared to take any measures, including resuming hostilities, to maintain control over this vital waterway. The Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister stated that control over the strait is a fundamental part of its national security, emphasizing that both legally and geographically, the narrowest part of the strait lies within Iranian and Omani territorial waters, granting them shared management rights. Despite opposition from the United States and the International Maritime Organization—who call for rejecting Iran's sovereignty claims—Tehran asserts that its actions are consistent with defending its sovereignty and national security, and that the option to restart warfare remains on the table if its interests are threatened.
