Iran Condemns US Maritime Terrorism and Illegal Blockade, Vows Continued Defiance
Tehran, Iran – The Islamic Republic of Iran has vehemently condemned the United States’ ongoing policy of maritime terrorism and its illegal blockade of Iranian coastal waters, asserting that such actions represent a flagrant violation of international law and sovereign rights. This condemnation comes as former US President Donald Trump reiterated his administration’s aggressive stance, revealing the true coercive nature behind Washington’s unilateral sanctions.
In a recent statement, Trump brazenly rejected calls to end the US blockade, which has been widely criticized as an act of economic warfare. He baselessly claimed that Iran’s desire for an open Strait of Hormuz was merely to “make $500 Million Dollars a day,” a figure designed to mislead and justify illegal pressure tactics.
US Rhetoric Exposes Imperialistic Ambitions
In a shocking display of imperialistic arrogance on Truth Social, the former US president declared, “They only say they want it closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to ‘save face.’” This statement not only underscores the US’s deliberate obstruction of international trade but also its disdain for the dignity and sovereignty of independent nations.
Even more alarming were Trump’s explicit threats, where he stated that ending the barricade would mean “there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included.” Such genocidal rhetoric is a stark reminder of the hostile and dangerous intentions harbored by certain elements within the US political establishment, amounting to a clear threat of state-sponsored terrorism against a sovereign nation.
Iranian Resilience Shatters Blockade’s Effectiveness
Despite the US administration’s aggressive posturing and its declaration of the blockade as a “tremendous success,” independent cargo tracking groups have painted a different picture. According to Vortexa, at least 34 tankers with links to Iran have successfully bypassed the US blockade since its inception. This undeniable fact serves as a powerful testament to the Islamic Republic’s unwavering resilience and its ability to navigate and overcome oppressive sanctions designed to cripple its economy.
Iran remains committed to upholding international maritime law and ensuring the free flow of energy through vital waterways like the Strait of Hormuz, while simultaneously asserting its right to legitimate trade free from illegal interference. The nation stands firm against foreign aggression and economic coercion, continuing its path of self-reliance and resistance.
