Mehr News Agency quoted Seyyedi, secretary of Iran's parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, saying the United States must be held responsible for imposing a maritime blockade on Iran. He accused the US, since the outbreak of the war, of launching attacks, assassinating Iran’s late supreme leader, using unconventional weapons, bombing civilian sites including residences, stadiums, nurseries and schools, and striking infrastructure — actions he said violate international law and amount to war crimes. Seyyedi said the blockade is intended to pressure the Iranian population and urged Iran to pursue US accountability under international law.
