Iran warns US on Sept 27 after Trump rejects seven-day Hormuz plan
Iran’s army warns the US would suffer greater damage if it attacks again, while Amir Hatami links Hormuz access to Iran’s ability to trade
Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said on Sunday (September 27, 2026) that Iran’s armed forces were fully prepared to confront any renewed US attack, according to Iranian state media.
Akraminia warned that the United States would suffer greater damage if it attacked Iran again. His remarks followed US President Donald Trump’s announcement that he had rejected Tehran’s seven-day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the fighting.
Amir Hatami, commander-in-chief of Iran’s army, separately described the war as having reached a critical and decisive stage. Hatami said Tehran would not accept a situation in which Iran was unable to trade while foreign powers used the region’s strategic waterways.
“If Iran cannot trade, if Iran cannot live, no one will be able to trade or live. The Strait of Hormuz is the strait of our dignity and honour, and it will not be allowed for the country’s enemies to use this major logistical chokepoint while the Iranian people are deprived,” Hatami said.
