Middle East crisis live: We have not even begun', Iran warns US amid escalation in strait of Hormuz
"The security of shipping and energy transit has been jeopardised by the United States and its allies through the violation of the ceasefire and the imposition of a blockade; of course, their evil will diminish."
"We know full well that the continuation of the status quo is intolerable for America; while we have not even begun yet."
"Trump's so-called Project Freedom, which began yesterday, says its aim is to use the US military to guide stranded cargo ships out of the strategic waterway."
"Iran's military central command warned that it would strike any US naval vessel approaching the strait."
Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, announced that a new equation for the Strait of Hormuz is being established. He warned that the current status quo is intolerable for the US. Ghalibaf accused the US and its allies of jeopardizing shipping security through a blockade and ceasefire violations. Following a US-Israeli attack, Iran imposed a blockade on foreign shipping. In response, the US initiated a counter-blockade, increasing the risk of conflict as Iran threatened to strike US naval vessels approaching the strait.
