The warning was issued on Tuesday by the spokesman of the Iranian military, Brigadier General Ebrahim Zolfaghari, according to the state-run Fars News Agency.
Zolfaghari said Iran could neither be besieged nor defeated, stressing that the country remained in control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
“Given the dominance of the armed forces over the Strait of Hormuz and the irreversibility of the situation in the strait to the past, the enemy’s only option is to respect the Iranian nation and observe Iran’s rights,” he said.
The latest warning came as the chairman of the Iranian parliament’s national security commission, Ebrahim Azizi, declared that the Strait of Hormuz would “forever remain in the possession and management” of Iran.
The development followed comments by United States President Donald Trump, who said he had suspended plans for additional strikes on Iran at the request of Gulf states while negotiations with Tehran continued.
Trump, however, warned that the US was prepared for a “full assault” on Iran if ongoing talks failed to produce an agreement.
