An Iranian source reported that “the Strait of Hormuz will not return to normal as long as psychological pressure against Iran continues.”

The source stressed, in a talk with Tasnim News Agency, that “Iran will continue to respond and protect its territory.”

In the same context, an Iranian security official said that “U.S. President Donald Trump’s five-day deadline means he is continuing with his plan,” adding: “We will keep responding and defending the country with full force.”
