Did Iran say it will not test US in Strait of Hormuz?

Analysis Reasoning

Iran has issued threats of retaliation against US military actions in the Strait of Hormuz, including warnings of 'firm and decisive response' to military vessels and statements that no ports in the region will be safe if Iranian ports are threatened. No Iranian official statement indicates they will refrain from testing or confronting the US there.
