White House Envoys Arrive in Doha for Talks with Mediators Between U.S. and Iran<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe KCHQ stressed that the strait is not the \u201caggressive U.S. playground,\u201d but the territory of Iran\u2019s \u201cundisputed sovereignty,\u201d with its security and stability considered a red line for the Iranian military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It confirmed that all oil tankers and commercial vessels seeking to pass through the strait must use routes designated by Iran, warning that any non-compliance and use of other routes, or disregard for Iran\u2019s navigation protocols, will be met with the Iranian armed forces\u2019 \u201cimmediate and decisive\u201d response, and endanger the violating vessels\u2019 safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said that Iran considers any U.S. attempt to interfere in security affairs or cause disruption in the Strait of Hormuz as a threat against its national security, and will respond to it \u201cswiftly and decisively.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It emphasized that the continued presence of U.S. manned and unmanned fighter aircraft over the waterway will cause insecurity, adding that Iran will not hesitate to take the necessary actions to \u201ccrush any aggression\u201d by the U.S. forces and their supporters to protect its sovereignty over the strait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran has tightened its grip on the strait since Feb. 28, when it barred safe passage of vessels belonging to or affiliated with Israel and the United States following their joint strikes on Iranian territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Thursday, Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran\u2019s deputy foreign minister for Legal and International Affairs, underlined in a post on social media platform X that the Strait of Hormuz \u201cis defined under Iran\u2019s command, not the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His remarks came a day after CENTCOM led a \u201csecurity dialogue\u201d in Bahrain with military officials from 12 countries. The meeting discussed regional security, expanding defense collaboration across the region, and underscored their commitment to the free flow of commerce through the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gharibabadi said the Bahrain meeting cannot \u201ccreate legal order and security\u201d for the Gulf, noting that security in West Asia will be ensured \u201cnot under the U.S. military umbrella,\u201d but after the U.S. stops its interventions, withdraws from the region, respects countries\u2019 national sovereignty, and accepts new geopolitical realities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
