Iranian officials have warned that continued economic pressure on the country could lead to restrictions on oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei said that if the economic war against Iran continues, Tehran would not allow even a drop of oil to pass through the strategic waterway.
Meanwhile, talks between Iran and Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz and maritime routes are scheduled to take place today.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei described U.S. claims about exporting oil through the Strait of Hormuz as part of psychological warfare.
Iran has also warned Bulgaria against providing refuelling facilities to U.S. aircraft, saying such assistance could make it a target for attacks.
Rezaei further said that repeated U.S. sanctions against Iran would not achieve their intended objectives. He claimed that similar measures had previously failed to accomplish their goals.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important energy routes, making any disruption to oil shipments through the waterway a potentially significant development for global energy markets.
