Iran to impose permanent mechanism to control Hormuz, military spokesman says
US restrictions on Iran’s vessels are illegal and “amount to piracy,” Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said on Monday and warned that Tehran would impose a permanent mechanism to control the Strait of Hormuz after US threats to blockade it.
“If the security of the Islamic Republic’s ports in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman is threatened, no port in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman will remain safe,” said the headquarters’ spokesman.
He added that, after the end of the war, Iran would enforce a lasting mechanism for controlling the Strait of Hormuz.
