Iran's Supreme Leader's military advisor, Mohsen Rezaei, announced that Iran will respond firmly and unprecedentedly to any actions targeting the Hormuz Strait or hostile forces entering the Persian Gulf. According to Odaily, Rezaei stated that Iran would counteract by breaking any maritime blockade. He also mentioned that if the current situation persists, one of Iran's strategic options could be to withdraw from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
The advisor emphasized that Iran's management of the Hormuz Strait has ended 50 years of insecurity in the Gulf region, asserting that managing the strait is Iran's legitimate right to ensure national security.
