Iran military warns will block Red Sea if US naval blockade continues




Iran's military warned on Wednesday it would block trade through the Red Sea, the Gulf and the Sea of Oman if the US naval blockade continues. 

In a statement carried by Iranian state television, the head of Iran's military central command centre said if the US continues with its blockade and "creates insecurity for Iran's commercial vessels and oil tankers", it will constitute "a prelude" to violating the ceasefire. 

"The powerful armed forces of the Islamic Republic will not allow any exports or imports to continue in the Persian Gulf, the Sea of Oman, and the Red Sea," said Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi.
