"We are determined to defend our national security and sovereignty with all might."
"Trump seeks to drag the region into an endless war. This is direct and public incitement to terrorise civilians and clear evidence of intent to commit war crimes."
Iran's top officials responded defiantly to President Trump's ultimatum regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. and Israel targeted Iranian oil facilities, while Iran retaliated with missile strikes on Israeli towns and Gulf oil refineries. Trump issued a provocative social media post demanding Iran reopen the Strait by a specific deadline.
