[94797] Verbal escalation: Iran responds to Trump regarding threats to the Strait of Hormuz

Growing tension between Tehran and Washington over control of the Strait of Hormuz

Against the backdrop of threats issued by US President Donald Trump toward the Islamic Republic's negotiating team, security tensions between the countries have risen. In response to the remarks, Ebrahim Azizi, Chairman of the National Security Committee in the Majlis (Iranian Parliament), responded sharply via his X account.

According to a report by Iran International, a media outlet identified with the Iranian opposition that consistently criticizes the policies of the regime in Tehran, Azizi stated: "You threaten, we act". The Iranian official emphasized that "the Strait of Hormuz is not your personal casino, nor is it the backyard of modern-day pirates."

Azizi's message was widely circulated on social networks close to the Iranian regime, including اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری, and آخرین خبر. These sources, which present an unequivocal line supporting the position of the Islamic Republic's security forces, emphasized the assertion that "these are sovereign Iranian waters, and the final decision rests with the brave Iranian people and its armed forces."

These statements reflect the regime's alertness in the face of current American policy. As noted also on the channel اخبار فوری ایران و آمریکا™ | جنگ | NEWS, the current Iranian tone is one of readiness for direct confrontation and the minimization of US legitimacy to operate in the strategic maritime space.
