Iranian Command Warns of Irreversible Action in Strait of Hormuz Over US Compensation Plan

Following US President Donald Trump's announcement to compensate ships and companies affected by Iranian attacks using Iran's frozen assets under American sanctions, Iran's Revolutionary Guards issued a stern warning. The Guards, through the spokesperson of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Command, which oversees the Revolutionary Guards, Iranian military, navy, and missile forces, declared this move a clear red line. They threatened that any company, country, or entity accepting such compensation would be permanently barred from navigating the Strait of Hormuz. This statement signals a significant escalation in tensions over the strategic waterway, which is vital for global oil shipments. The Iranian command emphasized that Trump's comments about insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz have prompted their official and harsh response, underscoring the seriousness with which Iran views the US plan to use its frozen assets for compensation.
