Iran Warns US: Nuclear Use Would Make Global Bases Targets, Rebuts Trump, Says Full Control of Hormuz

Iran's military stated that no vessel can safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz without Iran's permission; Iran's nuclear program has won global sympathy through resistance against the US, and Iran needs neither actual nuclear bombs nor bloodshed; the new Supreme Leader's absence from public view is for security reasons. Iran's foreign minister said the US faces "greater miscalculation" in Hormuz, cautioning Washington against false intelligence.
