Iran’s military said on Saturday it would respond if the United States maintained its blockade of Iranian ports, calling it “banditry” and “piracy”.
In a statement carried by state-run media outlet IRIB, the military’s central command Khatam Al-Anbiya said that if “the invading US military continues blockading, banditry, and piracy in the region, they should be certain that they will face a response from Iran’s powerful armed forces”.
“We are ready and determined, while monitoring the behaviour and movements of enemies,” it added.
