Hijazi: US can block Iran at sea indefinitely
The United States is acting decisively to maintain a permanent maritime blockade against Iran. U.S. Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, confirmed that the American military has the capability to rotate ships and deploy them as needed to enforce and sustain the blockade, as well as to exert economic pressure on Tehran. These remarks come amid escalating tensions following Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world's oil shipments pass. Washington has responded by imposing a naval blockade on Iranian shipments and launching strikes against Iranian military capabilities. Despite ongoing American strikes, they have not succeeded in breaking Iran's control over the strait. In retaliation, Tehran has attacked ships and military installations, with tensions between the two countries increasing amid political and military pressures.
