Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, has issued a warning over the Strait of Hormuz during the US-Iran talks, Al Jazeera reports.

“You make threats; we take action. The Strait of Hormuz is neither your personal casino nor the backyard of modern-day pirates, these are Iranian sovereign waters, and the ultimate decision rests with the noble people of Iran and its brave armed forces,” he said on X.
