Iran warns of targeting U.S. economic interests if maritime blockade continues
Mohsen Rezaee, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, has issued warnings to the United States and Israel regarding maritime blockades and economic pressures. Rezaee stated that if the U.S. continues its economic offensive, Iran will respond by targeting American economic interests with significant force.
Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Rezaee linked its full reopening to the cessation of conflicts in Lebanon and Gaza. While Iran is currently permitting ships to use a temporary route through the middle of the strait, future maritime traffic will depend on a formal agreement with Washington. Rezaee also noted that Iran’s oil sales have returned to pre-sanction levels.
In response to allegations that Iran planned an attack on Barron Trump, Rezaee dismissed the claims as lies fabricated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to intimidate the U.S. President. Additionally, Rezaee declared Beirut and Dahieh as Iranian red lines, warning that any future Israeli attacks in these areas would be considered an act of war.
