Ebrahim Azizi, head of Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, issued a public warning directed at the United States, stating "We warned you, but you ignored it." The comment appears to reference the period leading up to Iran's decision to close the Strait of Hormuz to free passage and impose a transit fee. It reinforces the Iranian narrative that its actions were a justified response to US policy. The statement comes amid ongoing international pressure to reopen the critical waterway.
