Warning vs Warning: US Announces Iran Ports Blockade, Tehran Issues Counter Threat
The US Central Command says a maritime blockade on Iranian ports will begin at 10 a.m. ET, covering vessels of all nations while exempting ships traveling to and from non‑Iranian ports. Iran's armed forces have rejected the move as illegal, warning that any threat to Iranian ports would put all Gulf ports at risk and asserting its right to secure the Strait of Hormuz.
