Iran threatens to go on offensive in Strait of Hormuz if diplomacy with US fails
IRAN-CRISIS/ (WRAPUP 4, PIX, TV):WRAPUP 4-Iran threatens to go on offensive in Strait of Hormuz if diplomacy with US fails
Iran has threatened to go on the offensive in the Strait of Hormuz if a permanent peace deal with the U.S. cannot be reached, according to a senior Iranian official. The interim peace agreement signed in June has already collapsed over a dispute about control of the strategic waterway. U.S. President Donald Trump has ruled out extending the temporary ceasefire, and Iran has resumed firing on vessels attempting to pass through the Hormuz.
The conflict, which began with U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran in early March, has killed thousands of people and caused oil prices to surge. Iran claims the right to manage the strait, which it shares with Oman, while the U.S. rejects that interpretation.
