YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A member of the Iranian Parliament's National Security Committee said in an interview on May 8th, that the U.S. naval blockade will be met with military response from Iran. “From our perspective, a naval blockade is considered a military act, and a military act receives a military response. Let them understand this. From now on, they should assign several additional escorts to their destroyers so that if one of them starts sinking, they can at least rescue and evacuate their naval forces.” Iran has largely blocked non-Iranian shipping through the strait since the war began, while the U.S. last month imposed a blockade on Iranian vessels.
