Iran's First Response to Trump's "Operation" in the Strait of Hormuz

SadaNews - A senior Iranian official warned on Monday that the country will consider any American attempt to intervene in the Strait of Hormuz as a violation of the ceasefire.

Ibrahim Azizi, the head of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian Shura Council, announced on the "X" platform that "any U.S. intervention in the new maritime order of the Strait of Hormuz will be considered a violation of the ceasefire."

Tehran's response came in the early hours of Monday, following a post by U.S. President Donald Trump, in which he announced the initiation of an operation to "liberate the trapped ships in the Strait of Hormuz," simultaneously sending a warning message to the Iranian regime.

Trump stated in a post on the "Truth Social" platform that the operation would begin on Monday morning, according to Middle Eastern time.
