Iran has warned that any U.S. intervention in the newly established maritime regime in the Strait of Hormuz will be treated as a violation of the ceasefire. Iranian lawmakers and military officials stated that if U.S. naval forces enter the Strait of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf, Iranian forces will engage them directly in battle.

According to Iranian political and military officials, the recent war has altered regional dynamics, leading to the creation of a new governance structure in the strategic waterway. Iran aims to maintain full control over the strait at any cost. Analysts noted that control of the Strait of Hormuz has become crucial for Iran, whose economy remains under pressure from decades of U.S. sanctions and recent wartime damage to its industrial infrastructure.

Tehran has also warned that if the United States attempts to escort stranded ships through the strait, Iran will respond militarily, effectively ending the current ceasefire.
