He stressed that Tehran will respond firmly to any attempt by the U.S. military to disrupt or undermine security along the routes used by commercial vessels and oil tankers, particularly if such movements take place outside designated shipping lanes or without authorization from the Iranian armed forces.
In a related statement, the spokesperson issued a strong warning to regional leaders, saying that any cooperation or logistical support provided to the U.S. military would be classified as a hostile act against Iran’s sovereignty and national security.
The spokesperson held the United States and countries cooperating with it fully responsible for any security deterioration or expansion of conflicts, warning that “any widening of the circle of war will set the entire region ablaze.”
