Iran Warns It Has 'Not Even Started' Battle for Strait

Iran's chief negotiator has today warned Tehran has 'not even started' in the battle to control the Strait of Hormuz, hours after attacks were traded in the waterway.

Iranian Official's Warning

Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on X that the security of shipping and energy transit had been 'jeopardised' by Washington, accusing it of violating the ceasefire agreement. 'We know full well that the continuation of the status quo is intolerable for America; while we have not even begun yet,' he said.

US Response

Yesterday, Donald Trump said 'seven small boats' had been shot down by the US and confirmed Iranian attacks on ships in the strait. The President later threatened to 'blow Iran off the face of the earth' if US warships and commercial vessels continue to be targeted.
