"The restrictions imposed by criminal America on maritime navigation and transit in international waters are illegal and constitute an example of piracy, said the statement issued by the Iranian military's central command centre, Khatam al-Anbiya, that was read on state television."
"An Iranian army statement on Monday said if the security of Iran's ports in the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea is threatened, no port in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea will be safe."
"Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil and gas shipments, has been heavily restricted since the start of the war, with Iran allowing only a few vessels serving friendly countries such as China."
"Oil prices, which had tumbled with the truce, jumped almost 8 percent on Monday, with both key WTI and Brent contracts, which are benchmarks, topping $100 a bar."
The Iranian military declared US maritime navigation restrictions illegal, labeling them as piracy. They warned that if Iran's ports are threatened, no Gulf ports would be safe. The US announced a blockade of Iranian ports following failed peace talks. President Trump emphasized the need for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Despite tensions, a recent ceasefire has held, although traffic through the Strait remains limited. Oil prices surged nearly 8% amid ongoing conflict and restrictions on shipping routes.
