Iranian Military: "U.S. Intervention in Strait of Hormuz Unacceptable, Threatens Energy Security"

Iranian military authorities have stated that they will never tolerate U.S. control over the Strait of Hormuz, according to reports from Iranian media outlets, including the state-run IRNA news agency.
A spokesperson for the Imam Khomeini Central Command, under the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said in a statement on July 13 (local time), "Following our repeated warnings in the past, we emphasize once again that we will never allow the United States to intervene in the management of the Strait of Hormuz."
The spokesperson also criticized the U.S., stating, "The repeated military adventurism and disruptive actions by the U.S. to interfere with the management of the Strait of Hormuz are putting regional security, international trade, and the passage of oil tankers and merchant vessels at serious risk."
The spokesperson further raised his voice against neighboring countries cooperating with the U.S. military, adding, "Unfortunately, some countries in the region are cooperating with this, which is increasing the risk of war spreading throughout the entire region."
A spokesperson for the Revolutionary Guard also criticized U.S. intervention in the Strait of Hormuz.
Brigadier General Hossein Nematzadeh, a spokesperson for the Revolutionary Guard, stated on X, "The U.S. has seriously jeopardized the security of global oil and natural gas supplies by intervening in the Strait of Hormuz, and they must be held accountable for this."
He continued, "We are continuing to control and manage the Strait of Hormuz with strong power and capability," and emphasized, "We will make foreign powers and their allies bow to the will of the Iranian people."
Directly targeting the U.S., he warned, "Just as we crushed the delusional goals the U.S. leadership had at the beginning of their aggression down to the level of reopening the Strait of Hormuz, we will inflict even greater humiliation and defeat upon their new acts of aggression than in the past."
