JAKARTA - Iranian Foreign Minister (Menlu) Abbas Araghchi warned Washington to "be careful" in responding to US President Donald Trump's statement that the US had full control over the Strait of Hormuz.
"Worse than fake news is fake intelligence," Araghchi wrote on the X platform, quoted by CNN, Thursday, August 13.
"The US has long made a miscalculation due to intelligence failure. An example of this: the war against Iran. Now, a much bigger miscalculation is happening regarding the Strait of Hormuz," he said.
President Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, "The US has full control over the Strait of Hormuz."
"I FEEL WE WILL DEFEND IT! Our naval blockade is called by everyone the 'BAJA WALL'. There is nothing Iran can do against it."
"They have no Navy, no Air Force, the rest of their army is not paid, and the IRGC has been decimated and fled," Trump continued.
Other senior officials in Tehran also reiterated their stance. Hossein Taeb, a hardline militia figure and close ally of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, said the US started another war in the Strait of Hormuz but failed despite Washington's assessment that Iran did not have effective naval and air power.
