Mohsen Rezaei, a high-ranking official within Iran's Supreme National Security Council, has issued a formal warning to the United States regarding its continued economic pressure on Tehran. Rezaei stated that if the current economic warfare persists, Iran is prepared to establish a maritime exclusion zone spanning the Persian Gulf. According to reports, this restricted area would extend beyond the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian official indicated that any vessels attempting to navigate through this designated zone without prior authorization from Tehran would face inclusion on an Iranian sanctions list. This announcement follows recent displays of Iranian missile capabilities, which officials claim serve as a clear message to Washington. The potential implementation of such a blockade represents a significant escalation in regional tensions between the two nations.
