Continued US warmongering will tighten Strait of Hormuz closure: Top security official

1 August 2026, 11:43

The secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has warned that continued maritime blockade and warmongering by the United States will further tighten the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

In a message released early Saturday, Mohammad-Bagher Zolghadr said further hostile US actions could also lead to the shutdown of other strategic waterways.

“The continuation of the US regime’s maritime blockade and warmongering will further tighten the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and also close other straits and chokepoints, and the global economy, energy markets, and American voters will pay the price,” he wrote.

The message comes amid US escalations against Iran in the wake of a 40-day war that Washington and Tel Aviv waged against Iran on February 28, which prompted Iran to take control of the Strait of Hormuz.
