Iran says any violation of shipping instructions through strait will be met decisively

The head of national security in Iran’s parliament said on Saturday that any violation of Iran’s shipping instructions through the Strait of Hormuz would be met decisively. 

This comes after Iran condemned US strikes on its coastal surveillance facilities following an alleged drone attack on a commercial vessel in the strait.
