As a responsible power and the guarantor of security in the strait, Iran warns against any military activity in this sensitive waterway, Gharibabadi wrote on US social media company X.

His remarks came in a post in which he shared a UK-France joint statement on the Strait of Hormuz, saying the two countries stand ready to deploy the wider Multinational Military Mission to support freedom of navigation in the waterway.

In response, Gharibabadi said the strait’s security rests with the littoral states. Those who create crises will bear responsibility for the consequences of their adventurism. This is a serious warning, he added.

It provides a framework for ending the conflict and addressing outstanding issues between Tehran and Washington through negotiations.

The agreement includes a cessation of hostilities, sanctions relief, the nuclear issue, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and broader regional security arrangements.
