Iranian Army Chief Warns War Is Not Over, Threatens Blows
Iran’s army chief says the fighting involving Iran, the United States and Israel is not finished.
He warned that Iran could attack its enemies again.
He also told nearby countries that working with the United States does not guarantee their safety.
Iran’s maritime authority issued a separate warning about ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz.
It said some charterers may be forcing ships to use routes it calls illegal.
The authority said those charterers could face restrictions.
The article says the conflict began with attacks on February 28.
It also says a deadline for later negotiations passed on August 17, but the talks’ future is unclear.
Iranian Army Commander Amir Hatami said the war involving the United States, Israel and Iran has not ended.
Hatami warned that Iran’s armed forces could deliver further “severe” or “crushing” blows to the enemy.
He urged regional countries not to rely on cooperation with the United States for security.
The Persian Gulf Strait Authority warned ship-owners against using routes through the Strait of Hormuz that it considers illegal.
The authority said noncompliant charterers could be placed on a list restricting their vessels’ future passage.
The article says attacks began on February 28 and that an August 17 deadline for follow-up negotiations passed without a clear agreement.
