Iran’s top joint military command said its armed forces would act to prevent the continuation of trade flows in the Red Sea and other regional waters if the United States continues a maritime blockade against Iranian vessels.

The commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said Iran would not allow exports or imports to continue across the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman and the Red Sea under such conditions.
