Iran Warns U.S. Maritime Siege Could Close Hormuz Strait

Mohammad Bagher Zolqadr, head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, stated that the U.S.'s continued maritime blockade and deliberate actions could lead to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and other bottlenecks, impacting the global economy and energy market, as well as American voters. Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf echoed these sentiments, warning that U.S. escalation would tighten the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and other maritime passages, with global economic and energy market consequences, and American voters bearing the brunt.
