Iran warns US against being 'dragged back into quagmire' after day of attacks in Strait of Hormuz
The US has announced a plan to guide ships out of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has warned could lead to a 'quagmire'. Thousands of sailors have been trapped in the waterway since the start of the war, with supplies dwindling.
The US has announced a plan to guide ships out of the Strait of Hormuz, raising questions about whether it was done with Iran's consent. Iranian State TV said the strait was 'under the control of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran'. The US president described the plan as a 'humanitarian gesture' for 'innocent bystanders'. The US Central Command said US forces would 'support merchant vessels seeking to freely transit' the Strait. Iran's IRGC warned that any foreign armed forces, especially the US military, approaching or entering the Strait would be 'targeted'. The operation has the potential to become a dangerous flashpoint.
