According to the semi-official Iranian news agency Mehr, Major General Ali Abdollahi, a senior commander in Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, stated that Tehran could halt all trade routes in key maritime corridors if the U.S. naval blockade remains in effect. Abdollahi strongly criticized Washington, calling American actions "illegal." "If aggressive and terrorist America continues its illegal actions of naval blockade in the region and persists in creating insecurity for Iranian trade ships and oil tankers, this action will be considered a prelude to violating the truce," emphasized the Iranian commander. He added that in such a case, Iran's powerful armed forces "will not allow any export or import to continue in the Persian Gulf, the Oman Sea, and the Red Sea." Summarizing the key messages of the armed forces, it was clearly conveyed from Tehran that Iran will not permit any import or export activities in the Gulf and the Oman Sea if the American blockade continues. The Iranian military emphasized that under current conditions, it will not even allow trade flow through the Red Sea, concluding with stern warnings that Iran will act "with full force" to uncompromisingly defend its territory, national sovereignty, and interests. This threat comes at a time of extremely high tensions in the region, and the potential realization of these warnings could have catastrophic consequences for global trade and the transport of energy resources that pass daily through these vital maritime routes.
