The spokesman of the Iranian National Security Committee responded to President Trump's claim to be the 'guardian of the Strait of Hormuz,' saying that if Trump insists on the role, he should go and be the grave keeper of Senator Lindsey Graham, according to a report.
The latest exchange in the ongoing war of words between Washington and Tehran over the Strait of Hormuz saw the Iranian National Security Committee spokesman taunt President Trump, telling him to become the 'grave keeper' of Senator Lindsey Graham if he insists on acting as the strait's guardian. The statement comes after Trump's earlier declaration that the United States is the 'guardian of the Strait of Hormuz,' as reported by The Zioneer earlier today. The Zioneer has previously covered multiple Iranian responses to Trump's posture, including statements from the committee's chairman and other officials, marking a consistent pattern of rejection of any foreign role in the strategic waterway. The spokesman's remarks, reported by the Abu Saleh the source, continue Tehran's rhetorical pushback against Washington's assertions. No independent verification of the statement was immediately available.
