Iran’s joint military command warned Thursday that oil tankers traveling through the Strait of Hormuz must use Tehran-approved routes or risk an “immediate and forceful response,” escalating tensions over one of the world’s most important energy corridors.
The warning, reported by Iranian state television, came after U.S. and Iranian diplomats met with mediators in Qatar as talks continue over a permanent end to the Iran war.
“Any failure to comply, deviation from the designated route, or disregard for the navigation protocols of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Strait of Hormuz will be met with an immediate and forceful response from the armed forces, endangering the security of the violating vessels,” the Iranian statement said.
The U.S. fighter jets over the strait “causes insecurity in this waterway and threatens regional security,” it added.
“Any attempt by the United States to interfere in security matters or any disruptive action in the Strait of Hormuz will be considered a threat to Iran’s national sovereignty and will be met with a rapid and decisive reaction,” the Iranian warning added.
Iran and the U.S. agreed to allow ships to pass through the waterway without fees for 60 days. under the memorandum of understanding (MOU).
But Tehran has insisted it should control vessel routes and eventually charge passage fees, a demand opposed by the U.S. and several Gulf Arab states.
