Iran Rejects Any U.S. Interference in the Strait of Hormuz
World
Iran has declared that it will not allow the United States to interfere in the management of the Strait of Hormuz, further escalating the exchange of sharp statements between Tehran and Washington over one of the world's most strategic maritime routes.
Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters stated that under no circumstances would Tehran permit the United States to become involved in governing the Strait of Hormuz. The statement was released through Iranian state media.
The announcement came in response to remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump, who said Washington intends to ensure security in the Strait of Hormuz and receive compensation for providing that protection. Trump argued that the United States could serve as the guarantor of safe navigation through the strategically important waterway.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world's most critical routes for global oil and gas shipments. Amid the continuing confrontation between the United States and Iran, the latest statements from both sides indicate that tensions in the region remain high, with no immediate signs of de-escalation.
