Iran vows military response to maritime blockade
The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Muhammad Baqer Qalibaf, announced that Iran will respond militarily if the United States tightens its naval blockade against the country. He pointed out that the American economic warfare and naval blockade followed Washington's failure to resort to war and diplomacy. He emphasized that Iran has not relinquished and will not relinquish control of the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that its military forces fully control it and will not allow it to be opened. Qalibaf also criticized the false guarantees offered by the United States to vessels crossing the strait, confirming that Iran is convinced it will confront any military threats and will respond if American escalation continues. These statements are part of ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States over sanctions and influence in the region, especially concerning the Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant portion of global oil trade passes.
