Brigadier General Yadollah Javani, the Deputy Political Chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), has issued a stern warning regarding the ongoing US naval blockade of Iranian ports in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. He stated that the US actions would be viewed as a violation of the ceasefire framework and could lead to military retaliation from Iran. This warning follows the announcement by the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) that it has successfully implemented a blockade, effectively halting all maritime trade to and from Iran. CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper reported that US forces have redirected ten vessels attempting to breach the blockade since it began.
