Tehran Warns Britain Any Warship Deployment to Strait of Hormuz 'Will Be Met with Decisive Response'
Iran strongly opposes the deployment of French and British warships to the Strait of Hormuz and warns they will face a decisive response, as stated by Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi.
France is sending the nuclear-powered Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier to the Strait of Hormuz, supporting an international mission led by France and the United Kingdom to restore freedom of navigation.
Iran has submitted a response to the US proposal for regional de-escalation, offering a 14-point plan that includes a phased ceasefire, sanctions relief, US troop withdrawal, and demands related to Israeli military actions.
Tensions remain high around the Strait of Hormuz with recent attacks on commercial shipping, threats from Iran's Revolutionary Guards against US interests, and the UK deploying the HMS Dragon to prepare for coalition naval operations.
