Iran’s armed forces say ‘will not allow the US to interfere’ in Hormuz

The unified command of Iran’s armed forces has warned the US against trying to intervene in the Strait of Hormuz and threatened attacks against those who collaborate with Washington. “We do not and will not allow the United States to interfere in the management of the Strait of Hormuz,” said Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, in comments carried by state broadcaster IRIB. Iranian forces will “deal severely with any disruption and insecurity” outside Tehran’s designated route.
