Iranian Regime to Face &#039;Strong Response&#039; If It Closes Strait of Hormuz The Iranian regime would face a \u201cvery, very strong\u201d response if it closed the vital Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel Al Jubeir said on Thursday. His warning comes shortly after the US said that the Iranian regime had shot down a US drone in the international airspace over the strait. \u201cThe situation in the region is very dangerous because of Iran\u2019s behaviour,\u201d Al Jubeir said. He cited an increase in the Iranian attacks in the region in recent weeks. \u201cSaudi Arabia does not want war with Iran. [But] the international community is determined to confront Tehran\u2019s hostile behaviour,\u201d he added. Iranian Retirees in Tehran Protest in Front of the Parliament Iranian retirees held a protest outside the Iranian Regime\u2019s Parliament in Tehran on Tuesday over inadequate pensions. It was the second major protest by retirees in recent days.

Iranians on social media have been speculating about the launch of some kind of &quot;national internet&quot; with state-imposed restrictions that would ban access to some sites.
