Iran Warns US Against Miscalculations Over Strait of Hormuz


The Pakistan Times | Islamabad Times


Iran has warned the United States against relying on what Tehran describes as “fake intelligence” regarding the Strait of Hormuz, saying inaccurate information could lead to serious miscalculations.


Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made the remarks in response to US President Donald Trump’s claims regarding control of the strategic waterway.
Iran Raises Concerns Over US Intelligence
Araghchi said the United States should be cautious about intelligence information being used to assess developments involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
According to the Iranian foreign minister, previous decisions were made on the basis of what Tehran considers inaccurate intelligence, resulting in what he described as incorrect assessments and the subsequent conflict with Iran.
He warned that a similar mistake could now be repeated over the Strait of Hormuz.
Strait of Hormuz Remains Strategically Important
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important maritime routes because it connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the wider Arabian Sea.
The waterway is particularly important for international energy markets, as large volumes of oil and other energy products pass through the region.


Any major disruption or escalation around the strait could therefore have consequences for global energy supplies, shipping and oil prices.
Iran Warns Against a Bigger Miscalculation
Iran’s warning comes amid continuing tensions between Tehran and Washington.


Araghchi argued that decisions based on incorrect assumptions can create serious consequences. He suggested that repeating such an approach in relation to the Strait of Hormuz could result in an even greater miscalculation.


The Iranian position reflects Tehran’s continued emphasis on its role in the security and operation of the strategically important waterway.
What Could Happen Next?
The situation around the Strait of Hormuz is being closely watched because any escalation could affect international shipping and regional security.


For energy markets, uncertainty surrounding the waterway can also create concerns about the movement of oil and the potential impact on prices.


Further developments will depend on statements and actions from Iran, the United States and other countries with interests in the region.


Conclusion


Iran has warned the United States against relying on what Tehran calls “fake intelligence” when making decisions about the Strait of Hormuz.
Abbas Araghchi said previous intelligence-based miscalculations had contributed to conflict with Iran and warned that making a similar mistake over the strategic waterway could have even more serious consequences.

  US Deploys Explosive Sea Drones The Pakistan Times  Islamabad Times Reports indicate that for the first time, the United States has used one-way attack sea drones in a major military operation against Iran.

How Volker Türk Secured a New Term as UN Human Rights Chief Despite US, Israeli and Russian Opposition no The Pakistan Times — Islamabad, July 25, 2026 The United Nations General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to grant Volker Türk a second four-year term as the UN's human rights chief, despite strong objections from the United States, Israel, and Russia, making him the first person to serve two full terms in the role since it was created in 1993.
