Member of Iran's parliament Manouchehr Mottaki said on Tuesday that the Strait of Hormuz was Iran’s 'red line', warning the US against claims over passing it 'in a way that suits them'.⁣
⁣
"Several shots were fired by the Iranian army and navy toward American naval vessels that sought to transit the Strait. This time we shot near them. But if they try again, they will be shot directly," Mottaki said.⁣
⁣
The remarks come as US President Donald Trump has imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports, following Tehran's announcement restricting access to the Strait of Hormuz for what it described as 'unfriendly' nations.⁣
