Iran's initial reaction to US Strait claim
The Deputy Foreign Minister of Iran, Kazem Gharibabadi, responded to Trump's threats to declare the Strait of Hormuz as part of American territory, affirming that control over the strait is only exercised under Iran's authority and that Iran would not pay attention to threats or displays of force. He clarified that the closing and reopening of the strait are solely determined by Iran's decisions, and that U.S. taking control of the passage would require deploying forces in the region, despite Trump's guarantee that any war would be short-lived. Additionally, statements from the Iranian Foreign Ministry indicated that Iran has not yet made a decision regarding the resumption of negotiations with the United States, while informal messages continue to be exchanged between the mediators.
