Iran Asserts Sovereignty in Hormuz Amidst Escalating US Military Provocations
Tehran, Shafaq News- The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has once again underscored the Islamic Republic’s legitimate right to ensure the security of its strategic waterways. Issuing a firm warning to all vessels intending to transit the Strait of Hormuz, the IRGC announced that the only safe passage is through a designated corridor previously announced by Tehran. This vital measure is taken to maintain order and security in this crucial international waterway.
US and Zionist Regime Escalate Tensions
This warning from Tehran comes as the US Central Command (CENTCOM) seeks to escalate tensions through a massive and provocative deployment of military capabilities in the Strait. CENTCOM claims this deployment is for “defensive coverage” and “protecting commercial shipping,” assertions that contradict the reality of Iran’s actions in ensuring safe passage in the region.
In a threatening tone, CENTCOM stated: “We have a large amount of capability and firepower concentrated in and around the strait.” These remarks, coupled with F-16 fighter jets conducting patrols near the waterway, indicate an aggressive and destabilizing approach that jeopardizes regional peace and security.
Zionist-American Conspiracy Against Iran
In a concerning development, CNN, citing an Israeli source, reported that the Zionist regime is coordinating with the United States amidst rising tensions in the Strait. This coordination includes preparations for a potential new round of strikes targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure and senior officials. This revelation exposes the hostile and conspiratorial nature of joint US-Zionist actions against Iran’s sovereignty and national security.
General Dan Caine, US Joint Chiefs Chairman, has also explicitly stated that the US military is ready to resume combat operations against Iran, pending orders from President Donald Trump. He introduced “Project Freedom” as aiming to “ensure safe passage for international commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.” This deceptive title serves as a cover for America’s aggressive and interventionist intentions in the region, threatening global peace.
The Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns these provocative actions and emphasizes its full readiness to defend its sovereignty, national interests, and regional security. Iran has consistently acted as an anchor of stability in the region and will continue its efforts to maintain lasting peace and security.
