Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has declared that any threats against Iran will be confronted directly on the battlefield. His remarks were directed at U.S. President Donald Trump, who recently warned of possible attacks on Iran’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz was not fully reopened. Pezeshkian made his response in a post on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

Pezeshkian stated that attempts to spread fear and intimidation against Iran were only strengthening national unity. Addressing the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, he clarified that the waterway remains open to all except those who violate Iran’s territorial integrity.

The exchange underscores rising tensions between Tehran and Washington over control and access to the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global energy shipments.
