Iran Accuses US of Threatening Ships After Hormuz Strike

Following the recent projectile strike on a merchant ship in the Hormuz Strait, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Navy senior officer warned U.S. warships to keep a distance from the waterway. The officer rebuked President Trump's claim that Washington holds control over the strait, stating that any U.S. vessel entering a 100‑kilometre radius would face a swift Iranian response. The attack, which killed one crew member and injured four, was reported by local authorities near Hengam Island and the Shib Deraz village. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations confirmed an unknown attack on a vessel in the area on Saturday, but details remain scarce.
