TLDR

  • Iran's parliament national security commission chief Ebrahim Azizi warned the U.S. against interfering in the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Azizi stated on social media that any U.S. involvement in the new maritime regime would be seen as a violation of the ceasefire.
  • The warning comes after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. would help stranded ships leave the Strait of Hormuz.

From Tehran, the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf are vital arteries for our nation's economy and security. Any external interference, particularly from a power like the United States under the Trump administration, is viewed with extreme suspicion and as a direct challenge to our sovereignty and regional stability.

Our parliament's national security commission, led by Ebrahim Azizi, has clearly articulated this stance on social media platform X. This is not merely rhetoric; it is a firm warning that any U.S. attempts to dictate terms or assert control in this critical waterway will be interpreted as a breach of the existing ceasefire. We will not allow our strategic assets to be governed by the whims of foreign powers or their unrealistic pronouncements.

The recent announcement by President Trump regarding U.S. assistance to stranded ships, while seemingly benign, is perceived through the lens of broader American military presence and potential overreach in the region. Our perspective is that the "new maritime regime" in the Strait of Hormuz should be managed by regional powers, not dictated by Washington. This incident underscores a persistent tension, where U.S. actions, regardless of stated intent, are often seen as attempts to undermine regional autonomy and assert dominance.

Hormuzstrรฆdet og Den Persiske Golf vil ikke blive styret af Trumps (USA's prรฆsident, Donald Trump, red.) virkelighedsfjerne opslag.
