Kazem Gharibabadi, legal deputy of the Islamic Republic’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on Sunday, 19 Mehr, during a trip to Hormozgan Province, said: “If the enemy has another military action in mind, our response will be different from the past.”

Gharibabadi added: “Our response in the 40-day war was different from the 12-day war, and we hope that the enemies will show even a bit of rationality.”

He went on to say: “The Strait of Hormuz has been considered a symbol of an Iranian waterway, and we will use this strait as a tool to confront the enemies.”
