Iran’s Khatam Al-Anbia Central Headquarters vowed that the Islamic Republic’s armed forces will not leave the United States’ threats and attacks against Iranian commercial vessels and oil tankers unanswered.
In a statement released Monday, the top operational military command body of Iran’s armed forces condemned the US for “continuing its evil and insecurity across the region, as Washington persists in its war of aggression and attempts to impose an illegal naval blockade on the Islamic Republic.”
It noted that over the past three days, American forces have threatened Iranian ships operating in the country’s coastal and territorial waters as part of efforts to enforce a maritime siege against Iran.
“This action by the United States is regarded as the expansion of war in the region,” the statement read.
“Just as the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have proven on the battlefield, they will not leave any threat or act of evil by the terrorist army of that country unanswered and will confront it decisively.”
