Iranian Army Spox Warns Regional States Backing U.S. Over Strait of Hormuz Access

Tehran - BORNA - Addressing cultural officials of the Army Ground Forces, Akraminia emphasized that Iran's ongoing military response is driven by strategic calculations to secure long-term stability. "Rationality dictates that the conflict must continue until a point where total deterrence is established for the Iranian nation," the spokesman asserted. "Otherwise, the enemy will miscalculate and launch fresh aggressions against Iranian soil. Therefore, sustaining operations until full deterrence is achieved is not based on emotion or warmongering, but is rooted in experience and strategic rationality."

The senior military official sharply criticized certain southern Persian Gulf states for facilitating external aggression while benefiting from regional maritime trade. "Several countries in the southern Persian Gulf, which have utilized the capacity of the Strait of Hormuz for years to export billions of dollars in oil and import goods, are today cooperating with the criminal U.S. forces in attacks against Iran. This complicity is entirely unfair, unacceptable, and unsustainable," Akraminia stated.

Concluding his remarks, the Army spokesperson reiterated Iran's absolute control over the vital maritime choke point. "The control of the Strait of Hormuz rests entirely in the hands of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Consequently, nations that have aligned themselves with the terrorist U.S. military in these illegal and aggressive actions will undoubtedly face severe complications when attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It is unacceptable for military assets or equipment utilized against the Iranian nation to transit through this waterway."
