09:54 15.08.2026 (Updated: 10:34 15.08.2026) Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi hit back after US President Donald Trump claimed he would soon declare the Strait of Hormuz “a territory of the United States.”
Gharibabadi said the Strait of Hormuz cannot be seized “by tweet,” “by aircraft carrier,” “by issuing an order” or “by an election speech.”
“Iran neither fears threats nor is intimidated by shows of power,” he wrote on X.
He stressed that the US must accept reality.
“The Strait of Hormuz has been Iranian, is Iranian, and will remain Iranian,” Gharibabadi said.
“This strait will be closed and opened only under Iran’s command,” he added.
Gharibabadi warned that as long as the US refuses to accept its strategic defeats and continues fantasizing, Iran will continue enforcing the blockade.
