Iranian state media, citing official sources, warned that any 'provocative action' by the United States in the Strait of Hormuz would be met with an immediate response, and that maritime traffic in the strategic waterway operates according to Iran's arrangements, according to Israeli media reports.
Channel 12 reports that Iranian state media, quoting official sources, have issued a renewed warning over the Strait of Hormuz. The report states that maritime traffic in the strategic waterway operates according to Iran's arrangements, and that any 'provocative action' by the United States will be met with an immediate response. The warning is the latest in a series of Iranian statements asserting control over the strait and threatening retaliation against US operations in the region. As The Zioneer has reported, Iranian officials—including the Foreign Ministry and the IRGC—have repeatedly warned the US against any deviation from Iran's terms in the waterway, while the US CENTCOM has denied Iranian control and stated that shipping continues normally. The current report does not indicate any specific new incident.
