Iran’s Pezeshkian Says Hormuz Open to All but ‘Enemies’ After Trump Ultimatum
Iran’s president said the Strait of Hormuz remains open to all but enemies, warning the United States and Israel against further escalation.
Masoud Pezeshkian said any notion of removing Iran from the map reflects “desperation” in the face of a resilient nation.
In a message posted on Sunday, he said threats and assassinations only strengthen national unity, adding that external pressure has historically failed to weaken Iran.
Pezeshkian stated that the Strait of Hormuz remains open to all countries except those he described as aggressors against Iran.
He stressed that Iran would remain united in the face of threats and respond decisively to any military action on the battlefield.
His remarks came after Donald Trump warned Tehran to fully reopen the strait within 48 hours or face strikes on key infrastructure.
The comments also come amid escalating conflict involving the United States and Israel, with ongoing strikes reported across the region.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global energy route, with a significant share of the world’s oil passing through it, making any disruption a major international concern.
Recent weeks have seen rising tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel, with both sides exchanging threats and military actions.
Pezeshkian’s remarks highlight Iran’s defiant stance as tensions escalate, raising concerns over further conflict and its impact on regional stability and global energy markets.
