Iran foreign minister warns foreign forces near Hormuz

Iran International reported that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told foreign forces near Iran to leave the region after Trump said the United States must respond to the Apache incident. He also argued the Strait of Hormuz is shared by Iran and Oman rather than international waters, keeping maritime access at the center of the confrontation.

Why this matters. Hormuz is the economic pressure valve in this story. Araghchi's framing keeps naval presence, shipping insurance, and oil-risk premium tied directly to the political fight over the Apache incident.
