Iran warns U.S. actions will tighten closure of Strait of Hormuz
Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, warned that ongoing U.S. military actions and a naval blockade will further tighten the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and could extend to other straits and chokepoints. He said the continuation of the naval blockade by the American regime will both tighten the lock on the strait and close other chokepoints, and that the global economy, energy markets and American voters would pay the price. The article also notes that the Strait of Hormuz has already been closed since earlier in the conflict and will remain shut until U.S. military interference ends.
Iran says U.S. naval actions risk wider maritime closures
Context
The strait has been closed to shipping since earlier in the conflict. Iran issued this warning in response to continued U.S. naval actions. The closure could logically expand to other maritime chokepoints if interference continues.
