Tehran: Iran's military declared on Monday it "does not and will not allow" the United States to "interfere" in the management of the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters issued a statement, broadcast by state media IRIB, accusing Washington of "repeated adventures" and interference that have endangered regional security. Tehran promised to "deal severely with any disruption and insecurity" caused by the American military to the passage of commercial ships and tankers outside Iran's designated routes and without the permission of Iran's armed forces.

Iran's military also cautioned regional countries against collaborating with the US military. A spokesman for Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) emphasized that Tehran "will continue to assert Iran's sovereignty and control over the Strait of Hormuz with strength and determination." The spokesman further stated that Iran would "compel foreign powers and their allies to submit to the will of the Iranian nation."

The warnings followed remarks by US President Donald Trump, who indicated that Washington might take control of operations in the Strait of Hormuz and expected other nations to compensate the US for securing the strategic waterway. Trump told Fox News, "We're going to guard it. We're going to get paid for guarding it - a lot of money. We want to be reimbursed for putting our people in danger."

Later on Monday, Trump announced that the US is "reinstating" a blockade on Iran in the Strait and will charge ships for safe passage. This move follows the lifting of a previous blockade after Pakistan mediated a memorandum of understanding in June, aimed at reaching a final agreement after at least 60 days of negotiations, including discussions on Iran's nuclear program.
