A senior Iranian security official told the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen channel that President Trump has forgotten that the Strait of Hormuz waterway belonged to Iran for thousands of years, asserting that the security and management of the strait are determined by Iran's will, not by tweets or warships, according to an N12 report.
A senior Iranian security official's remarks to Al-Mayadeen mark the latest assertion of Tehran's position on the Strait of Hormuz. The official accused President Trump of ignoring Iran's historical claim to the waterway and stated that security and management are determined by Iran's will, not by U.S. tweets or warships. The Zioneer has previously reported on the Hormuz tensions, including Trump's claims of a secret mission to secure passage, Iranian demands for revenue and control, and U.S. intelligence assessments that Iran can shut the strait at will. The statement underscores the ongoing impasse between Washington and Tehran over the strategic waterway.
