WANA (Jul 08) – The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters issued a stern statement warning that Iran’s armed forces will deliver a decisive response to recent US airstrikes, asserting that Tehran will never tolerate foreign interference in the management of the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

 

The military headquarters stated that the historic, unprecedented turnout of millions of mourners for the funeral procession of the late leader dealt a severe blow to global arrogance and the United States, showcasing the unity and resilience of the Iranian nation.

 

According to the statement, the US military launched aggressive airstrikes targeting several locations in southern Iran while the body of the late leader was being received by Iraqi officials and citizens, a move Tehran condemned as a blatant breach of standing commitments.

 

“The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will deliver a definitive and crushing response to this American aggression and terrorist act,” the statement read, adding that Iran will under no circumstances allow any outside party to interfere in the affairs or management of the strategic waterway.

 

The headquarters concluded by emphasizing that the only safe corridor for commercial vessels and oil tankers navigating through the Strait of Hormuz is the route designated and announced by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
