Tehran casts doubt on US account on Hormuz and invokes Suez crisis

Strait of Hormuz, Iran ·

Tehran linked the situation in the strait to what is happening on the ground, and a Revolutionary Guards spokesman referred to the 1956 Suez crisis when discussing the limits of power in strategic waterways.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman through which a large share of the world's seaborne oil passes, so its security is closely watched. The 1956 Suez Crisis followed Egypt's nationalisation of the Suez Canal and a British, French and Israeli invasion of Egypt.
