Iran warns US against Hormuz transit

Iran’s top joint military command issued a series of warnings on Monday over the Strait of Hormuz, saying any unauthorized United States (US) transit would be confronted and cautioning neighboring countries against supporting Washington.

Key takeaways:

Iran will not allow the United States to intervene in the management of the Strait of Hormuz.
Any attempt by the United States to transit through the Strait without Iran’s authorization will be strongly confronted.
To the leaders of regional countries, any cooperation with the United States will be considered war against Iran.
If the war widens, it will reach all the countries of the region. Responsibility lies with the United States and its allies.”
