Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi is doubling down on Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz, following the latest round of US strikes, Al Jazeera reports.
Speaking at the commemoration ceremony for the Revolutionary Guard’s commander-in-chief, Gharibabadi has accused the US of violating the ceasefire, and says Iran’s sovereignty over the waterway “has now been established”, Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency reports.
“We will not allow them to take a step to undermine Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz with these military actions,” he adds.
