Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is an “inviolable red line” and warns it will resist if the United States carries out threats to attack Iranian infrastructure. Multiple reports attribute the warning to Iran’s position that, if US President Donald Trump follows through on potential strikes on Iran’s power and bridges, Iran would target infrastructure across the Gulf region. The warnings come as fighting continues and the US escalates pressure. One outlet reports that US attacks continue into a fifth night, and another says the US reimposes a naval blockade of Iran’s ports. Washington describes the blockade as aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran closed last Saturday after a fragile truce collapsed. The reports collectively frame the situation as a dispute over access to the waterway, with Iran threatening retaliation in response to possible strikes and the US increasing military and maritime measures. Overall, the coverage focuses on Iran’s stated red-line stance, the threatened targeting of broader Gulf infrastructure, and the ongoing US strikes and blockade intended to affect the Strait of Hormuz.
