Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi appeared to respond to President Trump’s threat that the U.S. “must, of necessity, respond” after Trump said Iran shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz.

In a statement on Tuesday, Araghchi warned that foreign military forces operating near Iran are at “constant risk on account of their own human errors, plain accidents, or potentially being caught in crossfire.”

He said, “to reduce risk, the best solution is for foreign forces to exit, as soon as possible, an environment which will never be hospitable to a hostile presence.

Araghchi also stressed that the Strait of Hormuz is shared by Iran and Oman, not international waters, adding: “We prefer the language of diplomacy, but speak other languages too.”
