On reports that European countries will deploy warships to the region to open the Strait of Hormuz amid rising energy prices, Iran’s Foreign Minister Spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei says the country has “clearly stated to the Europeans that they shouldn’t succumb to the US and Israeli hubris acts”, Al Jazeera reports.

“They should refrain from making any move that would undermine their interests. As I’ve said, this war is not only unethical but it is also unlawful. The US and Israel started their aggression against Iran. These European countries shouldn’t be fooled in order to get into this matter.

“Any intervention in the Strait of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf would bring about further complications. They would rather exacerbate the prices; we look forward to the world countries to act responsibly.”
