According to a report by Russian satellite news agency on August 24, Mohsin Rezai, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said that if America's economic war against Iran continues, Iran will block oil transportation through the Strait of Hormuz. The report said that earlier, US President Trump announced the launch of an “economic operation” against Iran, calling it an “unprecedented scale of isolation” and calling on allies to stand with the US. Rezai posted on social networking platform X: “If the economic war continues, no drop of oil will be exported, whether through the Strait of Hormuz or from anywhere in the Persian Gulf.” He added that Iran will regard the participation of other countries in America's economic actions against Iran as an act of war. The US and Israel began attacking targets in Iran on February 28 this year, and Iran later responded with an attack. In mid-June, Tehran and Washington signed an armistice agreement, but soon after, the two sides attacked each other again. Currently, the conflict is still unresolved, but the two sides are not at war; instead, the US relies on economic pressure.
