Iran has threatened the United States with the cessation of shipping in the region due to the naval blockade.

The US actions on the naval blockade of Iranian vessels in the region threaten the current truce. This was reported on April 15 in the Telegram channel of the SNN agency with reference to Iranian Lieutenant General Ali Abdollahi.

"If America wants to continue its illegal naval blockade in the region and pose a security threat to Iranian merchant ships and tankers, then these actions by the United States will be a prelude to violating the ceasefire," Ali Abdollahi stressed.

In case of continued pressure from the United States, Tehran will use its armed forces to retaliate. He warned that the Iranian side would not allow export and import operations in the waters of the Persian and Oman Gulfs, as well as in the Red Sea. According to the newspaper, Iran intends to act by force to protect national sovereignty and its own interests in the region.

The Fars news agency reported on April 15 that an Iranian supertanker capable of carrying 2 million barrels of oil had successfully overcome the US naval blockade. It was noted that the ship actually defied American restrictions and threats by reaching the Iranian port unhindered.
