Iran Warns It Will Escalate Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. Won’t Honour Deal in Weeks

Iran said it will escalate tensions in the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. does not honour a deal within weeks. Tehran warned that failing to meet its obligations would force it to respond in ways it did not specify publicly. The announcement heightens concern over maritime security in one of the world’s most important shipping chokepoints, through which a large share of global oil supplies passes. Iran’s message signals pressure on the U.S. to deliver on promised steps tied to the broader negotiations, with regional allies watching closely for any signs of escalation.
