Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, amid US President Donald Trump's plans to declare the Strait of Hormuz a US territory, said that Tehran will not be afraid of threats and that the strait will be controlled exclusively by Iran, Reuters reports.
Trump announced earlier that after defeating Iran, he will declare the Strait of Hormuz as US territory.
"After US President Donald Trump announced that he would declare the Strait of Hormuz a US territory, Gharibabadi said that Tehran will not be intimidated by threats or a show of force from Washington.
The strategically important strait can be opened or closed only by Iran's order," the agency said in its publication.
