US naval blockade 'doomed to fail' - Iran president

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the US naval blockade of Iranian ports, imposed on April 13, would fail to achieve its objectives and exacerbate tensions in the Gulf. He claimed that such measures are contrary to international law and would undermine regional security. Iranian military officials also warned that Iran would respond if the blockade continued, threatening renewed hostilities with the United States.
