Iran’s Defense Ministry spokesperson said any U.S. military intervention in the Strait of Hormuz or Sea of Oman would fail and would worsen the crisis, raising concerns over global energy security.
Iran’s Defense Ministry spokesperson warned that any foreign military intervention in the Strait of Hormuz would deepen the crisis and destabilize global energy security. The spokesperson also said any U.S. military attempt by President Donald Trump to interfere in the Strait of Hormuz and the Sea of Oman would fail. The remarks reinforce earlier Iranian statements that characterized Trump’s comments about the Strait of Hormuz as a bluff and stressed that Tehran was prepared to respond if tensions escalated.
