Iran warns US escort plan in Hormuz will breach ceasefire regime

An Iranian lawmaker has warned that any US attempt to escort vessels through the Strait of Hormuz under President Donald Trump’s “Project Freedom” initiative would be viewed as a violation of the ceasefire regime.

According to Iran International, Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian parliament’s national security commission, said that “any intervention by the Americans in the new maritime order of the Strait of Hormuz will be considered a breach of the ceasefire.”

“The Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf are not a place for rhetoric,” Azizi added in a post on X.
