Amid talks on a peace agreement with America, Iran has once again issued a warning regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi has threatened that the Strait of Hormuz is not a platform for countries around the world to demonstrate military power.
This statement from the Iranian Foreign Minister has come at a time when British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have issued a joint statement regarding the Strait of Hormuz, regarding which Gharibabadi said that the forces that will create a threat in this area (the area of the Strait of Hormuz) will be held responsible for those consequences.
What threat did the Iranian leader give in the post?
Iran’s Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi shared a post on social media platform X on Saturday (July 4, 2026). He said in the post, ‘The Strait of Hormuz is not a platform for demonstration of military power by forces outside the region. Iran, being the country responsible for the security of the Strait and the guarantor of its security, is monitoring any military activity in this waterway with seriousness and sensitivity.
The narrow Hermes field is not a display of extraterrestrial military powers. Iran, as a responsible power and with tight security guarantees, issues a sensitive warning regarding every military move in this direction.

He said, ‘The responsibility for the security of Hormuz lies with the coastal countries and the forces that pose a threat to the area of the Strait of Hormuz will also be held responsible for the consequences of this misadventure. This is a serious warning.
What did France and UK say by issuing a joint statement?
On the other hand, in a joint statement issued by the UK and France, it has been said that Oman has agreed to work with the UK and France to ensure the safe movement of ships in its sovereign territorial waters.
In a joint statement issued by both the countries on Saturday (July 4, 2026), it was said, ‘The Strait of Hormuz is a very important sea route for the global economy. Restoring the safe movement of ships of all countries through this strait is a matter of concern for the whole world. The Sultan of Oman has agreed to work with Britain and France to ensure that the passage of ships in his sovereign waters remains safe.
The statement further said, ‘The UK and France are also prepared to deploy a comprehensive multinational military mission to ensure the free movement of ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
