The Commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters Major General Ali Abdollahi warned the U.S. in an April 15 statement that the naval blockade of Iran constitutes a violation of ceasefire, saying if the blockade continues, Iran will prevent all export and import processes in the Persian Gulf, the Sea of Oman, and the Red Sea, reported Tasnim.
“If the aggressive and terrorist U.S. continues its illegal action in enforcing a maritime blockade in the region and creating insecurity for Iranian commercial vessels and oil tankers, this action by the U.S. will be a precursor of violation of the ceasefire, and the powerful Armed Forces of Iran will not allow any exports or imports in the Persian Gulf region, the Sea of Oman, and the Red Sea to continue,” Abdollahi stated.
He added that “Iran will take decisive action to defend its national sovereignty and interests.”
