Iran may ``shut down'' the Strait of Hormuz if attacked by the US
Official indicates that Iran will try and ``shut down'' the Strait of Hormuz if attacked by the US ``The Strait of Hormuz is one of these options; if the strait is secure it should be secure for all, it can't be secure for all except for Iran, if such a thing happens, naturally Iran can use this capacity to close the waterway within its territorial waters and within its borders in accordance with international rules and regulation,`` member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Parviz Sorouri told reporters on Wednesday.
The Pentagon on Wednesday warned Iran against any attempt to block the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical oil route, Xinhua reported.
