Iran Warns of Opening New Front, Targeting Strategic Risk in the Strait of Hormuz
March 26 (CCTV News) — An Iranian military source stated Wednesday that Iran is closely monitoring adversary movements, adding it will open an "additional front" if the other side launches ground operations on its islands or mainland, or steps up maritime activities in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman to exert pressure.
Notably, the source highlighted the Strait of Hormuz as one of the world’s most critical strategic waterways, explicitly noting Iran has the capability and willingness to threaten the strait — sending a strong signal of potential "Second Strait" risk.
Separately, Iran warned the U.S. that any attempt to resolve the Strait of Hormuz issue through action could trigger a broader regional chain reaction, and emphasized it is prepared for an escalation in tensions.
