The Iranian Armed Forces announced on Monday that they will not allow the United States to interfere in the management of the Strait of Hormuz, in light of renewed hostilities between Tehran and Washington. The spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbia headquarters said that Tehran "will not, under any circumstances" allow the United States to interfere in the management of this strategic waterway, in response to statements by US President Donald Trump about "controlling the Strait of Hormuz." The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that it is seeking to reach a joint mechanism with the Sultanate of Oman regarding the security of the Strait of Hormuz, accusing American pressure of obstructing these efforts.
