An Iranian Armed Forces spokesperson characterized the US strategy as a &#8220;permanent mechanism&#8221; for destabilization, asserting that if the security of Iran\u2019s own Persian Gulf ports is compromised, no other port in the region will remain secure.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\" id=\"p-rc_523345f7a3638cb1-20\">The Islamic Republic further clarified its operational stance by stating that enemy-affiliated vessels will no longer be permitted to transit the Strait. Iranian military officials emphasized that the Strait remains under their full sovereign control, and while they maintain a commitment to legitimate international trade, they will decisively block any traffic linked to those enforcing the blockade. This move is seen as a direct counter-maneuver to US Central Command\u2019s intent to intercept ships entering or exiting Iranian coastal areas.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\" id=\"p-rc_523345f7a3638cb1-21\">Iran condemned the US restrictions on vessel movements in international waters as a flagrant violation of international law, describing the blockade as a form of modern-day &#8220;piracy&#8221;. They warned that these &#8220;illegal acts&#8221; would be met with a response signalling that the Iranian Navy and Revolutionary Guard are prepared to implement their own restrictive measures to defend their economic and territorial integrity.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Giuseppe Dellamotta at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No security for Persian Gulf ports if own is threatened Enemy-affiliated vessels won\u2019t pass through Hormuz US restrictions on vessel movements are illegal and piracy Iran has issued a warning following Trump&#8217;s&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-429475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429475\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
