Iranian Source: Unprecedented Military Response to Overturn US Blockade

A high-ranking Iranian security source revealed to Press TV that the continued US maritime piracy under the guise of a naval blockade will soon be met with an unprecedented military response. The source confirmed that the Supreme Military Command has decided to definitively eliminate the blockade option through a painful and decisive response.

The source explained that the armed forces, under the command of the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, believe that patience has reached its limit. Iran’s restraint over the past period was intended to give diplomacy a chance and allow Washington time to understand Iranian conditions. However, continued US intransigence is forcing Tehran to consider more stringent options.

The source indicated that the Islamic Republic, thanks to the resilience of its people and armed forces, has managed to thwart all US scenarios. Any attempt to impose a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz will have economic and security repercussions far exceeding what Iran can bear, making the United States the biggest loser.

The source also pointed out that Iranian public opinion holds Washington responsible for the unjustified war, while the American public is facing increasing rejection of the current administration’s policies, making the continuation of the naval blockade a costly adventure that may push the United States to seek a political way out after its failure on the ground and diplomatically.
