Iran has issued a stern warning to the United States after attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, saying the war is just getting started.
Iran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, warned the United States against any further escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, following a wave of attacks.
Ghalibaf said the attacks could reignite the Middle East war.
According to the US military, its Apache and Seahawk helicopters hit six Iranian boats threatening commercial shipping, while its forces repelled missiles and drones on Monday.
The latest warning from Iran followed US President Donald Trump announcing a plan to guide ships from neutral countries out of the Gulf, before the rivals traded fire as they vie for control of the waterway with duelling maritime blockades.
“We know full well that the continuation of the status quo is intolerable for America; whilst we have not even started yet,” Ghalibaf, who is also the speaker in Iran’s parliament, wrote in a post on X.
DAILY POST reports that the war, which began on February 28 with US-Israeli strikes on Iran, has spread throughout the Middle East and roiled the global economy, impacting hundreds of millions worldwide despite a weeks-long ceasefire.
According to Ghalibaf, the actions of the US and its allies had put shipping security at risk, with Tehran vowing not to surrender control of the Hormuz strait.
