According to Tasnim News Agency, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf warned that Iran would not hesitate to respond militarily if its adversaries intensify their naval blockade against it. In his first video address to the public, he stated that if the enemy intends to prevent Iran from exporting oil from the Persian Gulf, then no one in the region will be able to export oil. He pointed out that the enemy's current economic warfare focuses primarily on psychological tactics, and most of the newly announced sanctions were already in place. He also emphasized that, under international law, a naval blockade itself constitutes a military action.
