Iran warned Wednesday that it will close the Strait of Hormuz and fight to maintain control of the strategic waterway if the United States launches additional attacks, as Tehran and Washington exchanged fresh military strikes that further unraveled a fragile ceasefire. An informed Iranian security source told the state-run Press TV that Tehran has adopted a new military doctrine following developments over the past 48 hours.

“Following any strike against Iran, two immediate actions will be taken: first, the Strait of Hormuz will be completely closed to all maritime traffic; and second, Iran will strike enemy targets at a ratio of at least two to one, meaning that for every Iranian target hit, at least two enemy targets will be struck in return,” the source said. “The memorandum of understanding signed on this matter clearly states that Iran will reopen the Strait in accordance with its own arrangements. Therefore, Iran will not permit the establishment of any new route outside the framework of its own arrangements,” the source added. The source also warned President Donald Trump against further military action.
