‘Will Sink You’, Tehran Warns U.S Navy If It Continues Naval Blockade Around Iranian Ports
Mohsen Rezaei said Iran would target warships and could hit U.S. bases if the blockade continues, after nearly 144 ships were diverted, officials said.
- The Central Command has directed almost 144 ships away from Iranian ports as Washington enforces a blockade, which was reimposed last month following the collapse of a ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Following the collapse of a ceasefire, Washington reimposed the blockade due to renewed attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, with Washington subsequently resuming strikes on Iranian infrastructure in July.
- Mohsen Rezaei, military adviser to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, warned during a local media interview that Iran would not allow alternative routes through the Strait of Hormuz and threatened to target Washington's warships.
- President Donald Trump stated that upcoming negotiations represent the Islamic Republic's "last chance" to avoid further military escalation, while Rezai blamed Washington for violating the Memorandum of Understanding.
- Rezai indicated that Iran would view Washington fulfilling its obligations as a necessary step to build trust, though he blamed Washington for failing to meet conditions in the June Memorandum of Understanding.
