Iran warns US warships could end up in ‘graveyard’ as Hormuz tensions escalate

Iran warned that US naval forces could ‘end up in the graveyard’ amid escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, accusing Washington of acting like ‘pirates’ through its blockade of Iranian ports. Recent US enforcement of the blockade has led to increased tensions, with Iran asserting its readiness to confront US naval activity. Diplomatic efforts between Iran and the US have outlined a framework including partial sanctions relief and a phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
