The U.S. has perpetrated an atrocity at sea, 2,000 miles away from Iran's shores.

Frigate Dena, a guest of India's Navy carrying almost 130 sailors, was struck in international waters without warning.

Mark my words: The U.S. will come to bitterly regret precedent it has set.

We haven't truly closed the Strait of Hormuz.

You could say the Americans have closed it.

In the Strait of Hormuz, we exercise our maritime sovereignty. There, we deal with moving vessels according to international protocols.

We are engaged in a heavy battle at sea, in the air, and in space with the globalist America.

We are face-to-face with the Americans in a historical battle that the US military has not experienced throughout its shameful and criminal existence, and they will surely receive a very hard and regrettable consequence.

We strongly condemn the drone attacks launched from Iranian territory.

This attack on Azerbaijan violates international law and increases regional tensions.

Azerbaijan reserves the right to take appropriate response measures.

Iran is exporting the war, trying to expand it as to as many countries as they can to sow chaos.

We see actually the same drones that are attacking Kyiv every day now attacking also the Middle East.

U.S. forces control the skies by launching from the sea.

We intend to deploy a multi-domain force in the Middle East, with air-defense systems against drones and missiles.

Together with the Spanish and the French, we will bring assistance to Cyprus.
