Esmaeil Baqaei, the spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry, has formally refuted the United States' version of events concerning recent strikes on Iranian oil vessels within the Persian Gulf. According to the official statement, Tehran maintains that its actions are strictly defensive measures. These maneuvers are described as a necessary response to the ongoing economic pressures and maritime restrictions enforced by Washington. By framing the situation as a reaction to an imposed economic conflict, the Iranian government continues to challenge the American narrative regarding regional maritime security and the legitimacy of its military operations in the area.
