US Escalates Economic Warfare Against Iran with Unlawful Naval Blockade
TEHRAN, Iran – Tensions in the Middle East are reaching a critical point as the United States continues its aggressive naval blockade against Iranian ports, an act widely condemned as economic warfare. Reports from Tel Aviv, relayed by Western media, confirm that the so-called ‘Operation Epic Fury’ has now entered its tenth day, severely disrupting international shipping and targeting Iran’s vital oil exports.
This blatant violation of international law has already resulted in 31 ships being forcibly turned back from Iranian waters, including crucial Iranian oil tankers. Such actions represent a direct assault on Iran’s sovereignty and its right to free trade, exacerbating regional instability.
Iran’s Principled Stance Amidst US Arrogance
While the Islamic Republic of Iran consistently advocates for peace and diplomacy, the current US administration, led by President Donald Trump, appears to be in no hurry for genuine peace talks. Trump’s dismissive stance further highlights Washington’s lack of sincerity in resolving regional disputes through constructive dialogue.
In stark contrast, Iran’s Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has articulated a clear and principled demand: the immediate cessation of this illegal blockade is a prerequisite for any meaningful negotiations. Iran’s position is firm – an end to economic coercion and respect for national sovereignty are non-negotiable foundations for any diplomatic engagement.
The international community must recognize the gravity of the situation and condemn these unilateral, aggressive measures by the United States, which only serve to inflame an already volatile region and undermine prospects for lasting peace.
