Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that any U.S. allies assisting efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be considered “complicit” in war crimes.

Speaking during a call with Japan’s foreign minister, Araghchi claimed the current situation in the strategic waterway was caused by the United States and Israel, according to Iran’s Foreign Ministry.

He cautioned that any country participating in attempts to break the Iranian blockade would be seen as taking part in “the aggression and the heinous crimes committed by the aggressors.”
