Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi stated that the imposed blockade constitutes an act of war.

Referring to the consequences of interventions against ports, Araghchi said: “Blockading Iranian ports is an act of war and therefore a violation of the ceasefire.”

Criticizing violations against the safety of commercial navigation, Araghchi added: “Attacking a commercial vessel and taking its crew hostage is an even greater violation.”

Emphasizing his country’s determination, Araghchi stated: “Iran knows how to neutralize restrictions, defend its interests, and resist coercion.”
