The spokesperson of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters responded to President Trump on Monday, warning that Iran will not allow any US interference in the Strait of Hormuz and that any regional state cooperating with or providing logistical support to the US military will be considered to have declared war on Iran, according to the Abu Ali Express outlet.
The spokesperson of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters issued a statement Monday evening, warning that any regional state that cooperates with the U.S. military — including providing logistical support — will be considered to have declared war on Iran. This escalates earlier threats from the same headquarters and the IRGC, explicitly targeting Gulf states and warning that if war expands, 'its flames will reach all regional states.' The statement comes at 17:14 Jerusalem, minutes after previous reports.
At 16:08 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported a series of statements from the IRGC and Khatam al-Anbiya. The first declared any U.S. involvement in the Strait of Hormuz a declaration of war. Minutes later, the IRGC spokesman accused Washington of endangering global energy security and threatened to force foreign entities to submit to Iranian will. A separate IRGC statement vowed to prevent any U.S. interference in the strait. These reports were sourced from outlets such as N12 and Abu Ali Express and have not been independently verified.
As The Zioneer has reported since June, Iran has repeatedly threatened the strategic waterway. On June 19, Tehran threatened indefinite closure of the strait. On June 26, it warned Gulf states against allowing U.S. or Israeli forces to use their territory. On July 2, Iran threatened immediate strikes on vessels deviating from its designated routes. The current statement is the latest in that pattern, now explicitly warning regional states that cooperation with the U.S. military is a casus belli.
The new warning, like the earlier statements, has not been independently verified. It is not yet known how the U.S., Gulf states, or Israel will respond. The Zioneer will continue to update this developing story.
