Iran Vows Defiance Against US Threats Amid Strait of Hormuz Tensions

Tehran. Iran has declared that it will not bow to any threats from the United States. Following the US announcement to impose a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, Iran issued a strong response, clarifying that it will not yield to any pressure or intimidation.

Peace talks between Iran and the US in Pakistan were nearing a consensus, but Iran accused the US of adopting a policy of excessive demands, shifting goals, and blockades thereafter.

Meanwhile, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf mocked the US decision on social media, writing: 'Enjoy the current fuel prices. After the so-called "blockade," you will remember the $4-$5 gasoline prices.'

He had previously stated in a declaration that Iran would not bow to any threats. On the other hand, after Trump warned that he would blockade 'any ship' entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranian Navy also issued a stern response.

The Iranian Navy has warned that any military vessel approaching the waterway will be dealt with firmly. According to analysts, rising tensions in Hormuz could have serious implications for global energy supply and international security.
