US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: Iran has warned that any foreign attempt to interfere in the management of the Strait of Hormuz could delay the reopening of one of the world’s most critical maritime routes and further inflame tensions across the Middle East, as the regional conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran continues to escalate.
Speaking during a visit to Baghdad, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that alternative shipping or security arrangements outside Iran’s existing framework would complicate efforts to stabilize the situation.
“Any interference in this matter, any attempt to establish new or separate arrangements from those currently being carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran, will only lead to further complications, delay the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and increase the level of tension,” Araghchi said.
His remarks came after Iran launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait, describing the strikes as retaliation for fresh US airstrikes against the Islamic Republic.
