Iran warns any military adventurism in Strait of Hormuz will have consequences
Iran’s deputy foreign minister for legal and international affairs has warned that any military adventurism in the Strait of Hormuz will have consequences, saying that the responsibility of ensuring the security of the waterway lies with its coastal states.
“The Strait of Hormuz is not a theater for military display by extra-regional powers,” Kazem Gharibabadi wrote on his X social media account on Saturday, reacting to a joint statement by France and Britain on the Strait of Hormuz.
“Iran, as the responsible power and guarantor of the strait’s security, warns against any military movement in this sensitive waterway,” he said.
Gharibabadi emphasized that “the security of Hormuz lies with the coastal states,” adding, “Crisis-mongers will be responsible for the consequences of their adventurism; this is a serious warning.”
The British Prime Minister’s office released a joint statement on Friday by Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, in which the two leaders described the Strait of Hormuz as a “vital artery for the global economy”.
The statement claimed that Oman has agreed to cooperate with Britain and France to secure its territorial waters against shipping risks.
London and Paris also announced their readiness to deploy what they called a “broader multinational military mission” to support freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz to hostile states and their allies in response to the US-Israeli aggression and then began asserting more control in retaliation for the US sustaining an illegal naval blockade of Iranian ports and vessels despite a standing ceasefire.
