Iran's
military warns it will attack if US forces enter Hormuz strait
The head
of the Iranian military’s unified command has said US or any other foreign
armed forces will be attacked if they enter the strait of Hormuz.
The
command warned US forces to stay out of the strait and said its forces would
“respond harshly” to any threat, telling commercial ships and oil tankers to
refrain from any movement in the absence of coordination with Iran’s military.
Ali
Abdollahi, the head of the forces’ unified command, said in the statement cited
by Reuters:
We have
repeatedly said the security of the Strait of Hormuz is in our hands and that
the safe passage of vessels needs to be coordinated with the armed forces.
We warn
that any foreign armed forces, especially the aggressive US army, will be
attacked if they intend to approach and enter the Strait of Hormuz.”
