On the 8th local time, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei posted on X: &#8220;Just because a lion bares its fangs, don&#8217;t assume the lion is smiling.&#8221; Arab outlet Al Arabiya noted the line is a quotation from the classical Arab poet Al-Mutanabbi and said it was intended as a warning against further escalation after the previous day\u2019s clash in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says it is reviewing a U.S. proposal for a ceasefire, but Baghaei\u2019s remark signaled Tehran could resume military action at any time. In a statement about the clash, the Iranian navy said it struck a U.S. destroyer \u2014 which it accused of violating a ceasefire and attacking an Iranian tanker in nearby territorial waters \u2014 with multiple missiles, combat drones and rockets, and that U.S. ships then changed course and withdrew. #Iran #UnitedStates #War #Hormuz #CeasefireTalks Yonhap News TV inquiries and tips:
