Middle East War: Iranian President Claims US Naval Blockade is "Destined to Fail"

Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian stated that the US blockade of Iranian ports is "destined to fail" and will only exacerbate tensions in the Gulf. He emphasized that such attempts at maritime blockade are contrary to international law and would harm regional security. These statements have led to a spike in oil prices and come amid a deadlock in discussions between Washington and Tehran.
