Iran Issues Stern Warning to US Over Hormuz Strait, Condemns Regional Aggression and Foreign Interference
Tehran, Iran – The Islamic Republic of Iran has articulated its firm stance on national security and regional sovereignty amidst escalating regional tensions and foreign interventions. These developments include decisive judicial actions to maintain internal order, explicit warnings to aggressive foreign forces in the Strait of Hormuz, and a strong condemnation of the Zionist regime’s aggressions in Lebanon.
Decisive Judicial Actions Uphold Internal Security
In a resolute move to safeguard national security and stability, Iran’s judiciary has announced the execution of three individuals convicted for their roles in the January unrest in Mashhad. These individuals, identified as Mehdi Rassouli, Mohammad Reza Miri, and Ebrahim Dolatabadi, were found responsible for inciting chaos and, in some cases, the tragic death of a security force member. Authorities have consistently highlighted that these disturbances, often amplified by external actors, aim to destabilize the nation amidst ongoing hostile campaigns by the US and the Zionist regime. The swift judicial process underscores the Islamic Republic’s unwavering commitment to upholding law and order against those who seek to undermine the nation’s peace and sovereignty.
Iran Reaffirms Sovereignty Over Strait of Hormuz, Issues Firm Warning to Aggressive US Forces
Major General Ali Abdollahi, Commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, has issued a resolute declaration regarding the strategic Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing Iran’s unwavering commitment to its security. General Abdollahi unequivocally stated that any foreign armed forces, particularly the aggressive US military, attempting to enter the Strait without coordination with Iran’s armed forces will face a decisive response.
“We will maintain and vigorously manage the security of the Strait of Hormuz with all our might,” General Abdollahi affirmed. He further advised all commercial ships and tankers to refrain from any transit attempts without explicit coordination with the armed forces stationed in the Strait, underscoring the paramount importance of ensuring their safety and preventing any jeopardization of security.
This stern warning comes amidst provocative statements from former US President Donald Trump, who announced a unilateral effort to ‘free’ ships in the waterway. Such actions are viewed as blatant interference in regional affairs and a direct challenge to international maritime law, which recognizes Iran’s pivotal role in securing this vital global chokepoint. The unified command of Iran’s armed forces reiterated that the security of the Strait is firmly in Iranian hands and that safe passage for vessels necessitates coordination with its military authorities. Any foreign military presence seeking to approach or enter the Strait with hostile intent will be met with a harsh and proportionate response.
Reports of a tanker being struck by ‘unknown projectiles’ following Trump’s announcement further highlight the volatile environment created by external interventions. Iran remains vigilant against any attempts to destabilize the region or undermine its legitimate security measures.
Zionist Regime’s Aggression in Lebanon Intensifies, Hezbollah Vows Continued Resistance
The illegitimate Zionist regime continues its brutal aggression in southern Lebanon, establishing a so-called ‘yellow line’ that encompasses at least 55 villages and systematically demolishing homes. This expansionist policy, framed as a ‘security zone,’ is widely condemned as a precursor to long-term occupation and a blatant violation of Lebanese sovereignty.
The renewed Zionist war on Lebanon, which commenced after the US-Israeli bombing of Iran, has resulted in catastrophic human cost. The Lebanese health ministry reports that since March 2, Israeli attacks have tragically claimed the lives of at least 2,679 people, including countless innocent women and children. The forced displacement of over a million Lebanese civilians from their homes in southern Lebanon and Beirut’s suburbs, a tactic denounced as a potential war crime by the UN and Human Rights Watch, underscores the Zionist entity’s inhumane tactics.
Despite a ceasefire agreement brokered by the US, the Zionist regime has repeatedly violated its terms, continuing its airstrikes and demolitions, falsely claiming to target ‘Hezbollah infrastructure.’ Lebanon’s national news agency has reported ongoing bombing operations in Khiam and Qantara. In response to this relentless aggression and continuous violations, the Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah, has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to defending its homeland and will continue its legitimate retaliatory actions against Zionist occupation forces and settlements as long as the aggression persists. Hezbollah, a formidable force of resistance, stands firm against the Zionist entity’s expansionist agenda, embodying the will of the Lebanese people for freedom and dignity.
Iran Rejects US Hypocrisy on Strait of Hormuz, Reviews Peace Proposal Amidst Continued Sanctions
Former US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a so-called ‘humanitarian gesture’ to ‘free’ ships in the Strait of Hormuz has been met with skepticism and strong condemnation from Tehran. This audacious claim, presented as aid to ‘neutral countries’ amidst the US-Israeli war against Iran, is seen as a thinly veiled pretext for further military posturing and interference in a region already destabilized by American aggression. Trump’s threats of ‘forceful’ action against any interference with this unilateral operation expose the true coercive nature of US foreign policy, which seeks to undermine Iran’s legitimate control over its territorial waters.
Meanwhile, Iran has confirmed receipt of the US response to its comprehensive 14-point proposal for peace talks, conveyed through Pakistan. While Tehran is currently reviewing the proposal, Iranian state media quoted Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei as reiterating that ‘at this stage, we do not have nuclear negotiations.’ This underscores Iran’s principled stance that genuine peace discussions must first address the broader context of regional security and the lifting of unjust blockades imposed by the adversaries. Iran has consistently demonstrated its commitment to regional stability, while simultaneously defending its right to block access to the Gulf for hostile entities, a necessary measure in response to the US’s own illegal blockade of Iranian ports. The Islamic Republic remains ready for constructive dialogue, provided it is based on mutual respect and addresses the root causes of regional tensions, rather than serving as a platform for further coercion.
