Svmuu News: Iran’s Supreme Joint Military Command stated that Iran will not allow the United States to interfere in the management of the Strait of Hormuz. Any attempt by the United States to pass through the strait without Iran’s authorization will be met with strong resistance. We warn the leaders of countries in the region that any cooperation with the United States will be regarded as an act of war against Iran. Should the war escalate, it will affect all countries in the region, and the responsibility will lie with the United States and its allies.
Iran will resolutely respond to any actions by U.S. forces—outside of Iran’s designated shipping lanes and without the permission of the Iranian Armed Forces—that disrupt or endanger the navigation of commercial vessels and oil tankers. The United States’ frequent reckless and malicious actions, aimed at interfering with the management of the Strait of Hormuz, have seriously jeopardized regional security, international trade, and the passage of oil tankers and commercial vessels. Regrettably, the complicity of certain regional countries has also increased the risk of war spreading throughout the region. (Jin Shi)
