Iran rejects US-led Gulf security summit, says Hormuz is under its command
Iran has sharply criticized a US-led security summit in Bahrain, asserting that the Strait of Hormuz falls under Tehran's command, not American authority. Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi dismissed the summit's legitimacy, stating that regional security must be managed by neighboring states without foreign military intervention. The meeting, attended by military leaders from twelve nations, aimed to ensure the free flow of commerce through the vital waterway.
