The spokesperson said that from now on, any state cooperating with the United States will see its ships 'definitely encounter problems' when passing through the Strait of Hormuz. He accused some regional states of using the waterway for billions of dollars in trade while simultaneously cooperating with 'the enemy.'
Iran's army spokesperson issued a new threat on Tuesday evening, warning that any state cooperating with the United States will face problems for its ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The spokesperson said that some regional states have used the strait for billions of dollars in trade while simultaneously cooperating with 'the enemy.' 'From now on, any state that cooperates with the Americans, its ships will definitely encounter problems when passing through the Strait of Hormuz,' he stated.
The Zioneer has previously reported on several Iranian threats and warnings regarding the Strait of Hormuz. In recent weeks, Tehran has warned Gulf states against allowing US or Israeli forces to use their territory, threatened Oman over maritime cooperation with the US, and demanded Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon as a condition for reopening the strait. The US has also issued an ultimatum to Iran to guarantee free passage. The new threat expands the scope of potential targets to include any state that cooperates with Washington, beyond just Gulf states.
