Passage through Strait of Hormuz possible only through coordination with Iran: Defense Council

Iran's Defense Council says the passage of non-hostile vessels through the Strait of Hormuz is possible only via coordination with Iranian officials, amid ongoing US-Israeli aggression against Iran.

 

In a statement released on Monday, the Council underscored that Iranian Armed Forces will deliver a decisive and destructive response to any act of aggression against their nation's power plants and energy infrastructure without hesitation.

 

Iran struck the Dimona nuclear complex in the Israeli-occupied territories in reprisal for the attack on Natanz nuclear facility, and targeted US interests in retaliation for the attack on energy infrastructure in the southern gas-rich Asalouyeh region.

 

Iran's Defense Council also warned that any attempts by enemies to attack Iranian coasts or islands in the Persian Gulf waters would prompt Iranian forces to lay various types of naval mines along all maritime transition routes, and the move would be within the framework of their legitimate right and in accordance with accepted military statutes.

 

This would consequently create a situation in the Persian Gulf similar to the status quo in the Strait of Hormuz, and would freeze maritime activities in the strategic water body, it added.
