Iran threatens to attack US forces in Strait of Hormuz as Trump says military will help stranded ships

Iran's foreign ministry has stated that it is ready to respond to US threats in the Strait of Hormuz. This comes after President Trump announced that the US military will start guiding stranded ships out of the strait. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaie said that ships and shipping companies know that their security requires coordination with Iranian authorities. Earlier, the head of Iran's central command said it would attack any foreign armed force that tries to approach or enter the strait, especially the US army. Baghaie added that there's no reason for countries who follow the rule of law to follow illegal actions by the US.
