Iran threatens to disrupt shipping in Red Sea unless US lifts Hormuz blockade
Revolutionary Guard warns Tehran will block trade through the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman and Red Sea as mediators push to extend the fragile US-Iran ceasefire, regional tensions rise and Gulf states move to contain the fallout
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard announced Wednesday that Tehran would not allow the import or export of goods through the Persian Gulf, the nearby Gulf of Oman and the Red Sea unless the United States lifts the blockade it imposed earlier this week around the Strait of Hormuz.
Ali Abdollahi, commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya emergency headquarters, said the measures would be “firm and decisive” steps to protect Iran’s national interests and sovereignty.
