Iran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, according to state broadcaster Press TV on Wednesday, citing an unknown Iranian source.

According to the source, Iran would reopen the strait only under its own arrangements, "as per the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)."

The source added that Iran would "strike at least twice the number of targets hit" in response to any strikes by the United States.

"The developments of the past 48 hours show Iran won't back down from managing the Hormuz," the source noted.
