The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the top operational command of the Iranian Armed Forces, warned this Monday that it will not allow the United States to intervene in the management of the Strait of Hormuz.
“We will not allow, under any circumstances, for the U.S. to interfere in the administration of the Strait of Hormuz. Not now, not ever,” the military body said in a statement, adding that any cooperation with Washington by countries in the region “will be considered an act of war against Iran.”

In this sense, they stated that both the U.S. and the countries that cooperate with its military forces must assume “full responsibility for the insecurity and the escalation of the conflict in the region”.
“If the war expands, it will reach all the countries in the region and the responsibility will fall on the U.S. and its allies,” they asserted.
- The Public Relations Department of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced this Monday that the only way for the Islamic Republic to open the Strait of Hormuz is for the U.S. military to end its naval attacks.
- Previously, it warned that it would not allow “a rogue and child-killing army from the other side of the world to continue its illegal interference in the region.”
- Following the new wave of bombings on the Persian country, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) indicated that the Strait of Hormuz is a “vital maritime corridor for global trade” that “Iran does not control.”
