00:16Iranian authorities have warned that any U.S. interference in the new maritime regime of the Strait of Hormuz
00:21will be considered a violation of the existing ceasefire.
00:25In recent statements, the spokesman for Iran's Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission,
00:31Ebrahim Assisi, dismissed President Donald Trump's plan to escort ships through the waterway as delusional.
00:37In this regard, Assisi assured Hormuz and the Persian Gulf would not be managed by Trump's wimps,
00:43emphasizing not one believes Washington's scenarios.
00:46Iran has maintained strict controls over the Strait since the U.S. and Israel launched their unprovoked war in February.
00:54The Persian nation has repeatedly stated that regional security can only be ensured by regional countries without foreign interference.
01:12In response to the announcement on Sunday of the so-called Project Freedom by U.S. President Donald Trump
01:19that plans for U.S. forces to escort ships through the Strait on Monday.
01:23In a statement posted on Truth Social, President Trump alleged that multiple countries had asked the United States for assistance
01:29in reaching the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, saying U.S. representatives would be tasked with guiding vessels
01:36and their crews safely out of the restricted area.
01:39Meanwhile, the U.S. Central Command said in a statement that it would begin supporting merchant vessels
01:44seeking to freely transit the Strait from Monday.
01:46This represents a new escalation of tension in the region,
01:49a move that threatens the fragile ceasefire reach between the United States and Iran on April 7th.
