Iran Warns of Strikes Against U.S. and Foreign Forces Entering Strait of Hormuz

Iran’s Khatam Al‑Anbiya Headquarters has issued a stark warning, declaring that its forces will target any U.S. or foreign military units attempting to enter the Strait of Hormuz.

In its statement, the headquarters urged commercial ships and oil tankers to avoid transiting the strategic waterway without prior coordination with Iranian armed forces, citing heightened risks amid escalating regional tensions.

The warning also called on nations supporting U.S. operations to exercise caution, stressing that any miscalculation could lead to “irreparable regret.”

Officials underscored that the announcement reflects Iran’s determination to defend its sovereignty and control over one of the world’s most vital maritime corridors, as global attention remains fixed on the fragile security situation in the Gulf.
