In a message released early Saturday, Mohammad-Bagher Zolghadr said further hostile US actions could also lead to the shutdown of other strategic waterways.
“The continuation of the US regime’s maritime blockade and warmongering will further tighten the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and also close other straits and chokepoints, and the global economy, energy markets, and American voters will pay the price,” he wrote.
The message comes amid US escalations against Iran in the wake of a 40-day war that Washington and Tel Aviv waged against Iran on February 28, which prompted Iran to take control of the Strait of Hormuz.
