Iran warns US over Hormuz interference
Iran issued a strong warning to the United States regarding interference in the management of the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that any US intervention will be met with direct strikes and targeting. The warning also included a caution to vessels against crossing the strait outside the approved routes. Iranian armed forces confirmed that Iran has not attacked neighboring countries, and that its responses are limited to targeting American interests. They have also strengthened their armed forces and developed missiles and drone aircraft, vowing a strong military response to any potential aggression. Additionally, the Iranian authorities warned against attempts by some companies to force their ships to use unapproved routes, threatening to impose restrictions on the passage of violator ships. This comes after the United States rejected Iran’s proposal to de-escalate tensions, with Iranian Foreign Minister affirming that Tehran’s conditions for opening the strait are clear, and that progress has been hindered by the failure to meet those conditions. The situation is marked by military and political escalation over freedom of navigation through this strategic passage, which is threatened by the broader context of ongoing war and negotiations.
