Iran Warns U.S.: ‘We Will Not Allow Control of Strait of Hormuz’

Tehran (Terror Monitor) — Iran has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement that Washington is taking control of the Strait of Hormuz, warning that Tehran will not allow any foreign interference in the management of the strategic waterway.

According to Iran’s Tasnim news agency, Iran’s military headquarters Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said in a statement that repeated U.S. actions in the Strait of Hormuz had created “serious threats” to regional security.

The statement said, “We do not and will not allow the United States to take control of this vital waterway.”

Iranian military officials said the country’s armed forces were prepared to deal with any tension or disruption caused by what they described as actions by the U.S. military.

The statement warned that any cooperation with the United States would be considered a “war action” against Iran’s sovereignty.

Iran’s military further warned that if the conflict expands, “the flames of war could engulf all countries in the region.”

Iranian Lawmaker Responds to Trump

Following Trump’s announcement of a renewed naval blockade against Iranian ports, Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Rezaei, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, also issued a response.

In a post on social media platform X, Rezaei said, “We do not need foreigners to protect the Strait of Hormuz.”

He accused Washington of increasing tensions and complicating the regional security situation.

IRGC Warns U.S. Over Strait of Hormuz

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said U.S. intervention in the Strait of Hormuz had put global oil and gas supplies at “serious risk.”

According to Tasnim, the IRGC statement claimed that Iran still maintains control over the Strait of Hormuz and would force foreign powers and their allies to “submit to the will of the Iranian people.”

The statement also claimed that Iran would respond to U.S. actions by causing Washington “further humiliation and disappointment.”

Impact on Global Energy Markets

The statements come amid rising military tensions between the United States and Iran, with both sides claiming attacks against each other in recent days.

Oil prices increased following the latest escalation between the two countries, although they remain below the peak levels recorded during the height of the crisis.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important energy chokepoints, with a significant portion of global oil shipments passing through the waterway. Any prolonged disruption or military escalation in the region could have major consequences for global energy supplies and maritime trade.
