Tehran will consider “any action” to maintain control over the Strait of Hormuz, including the resumption of war, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi has warned, Al Jazeera reports.
In comments reported by the Fars news agency, Gharibabadi says Iran would “no longer be able to exercise sovereignty” if it opens up a southern lane closer to the Omani coast, where it has been shooting at ships.
“Any European ship that wants to come near the Strait of Hormuz is our legitimate target,” he added.
