"We will not allow any interference in the affairs of the Strait of Hormuz or its management under any circumstances.

The unprecedented event and public presence in the funeral procession and farewell ceremony for the martyred leader brought a humiliating defeat to global arrogance and the criminal United States.

The US terrorist army, without any regard for its commitments, and while the pure body of the martyred leader is being received by officials and the brave people of Iraq, blatantly targeted some areas in the southern parts of our beloved Iran.

The Iranian Armed Forces will deliver a resounding response to the US aggression and terrorist act, and under no circumstances will they allow any interference in the affairs of the Strait of Hormuz or its management.

It is reiterated that the only safe route for the passage of commercial ships and oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz is the route determined by the Islamic Republic of Iran."
